Hi all.

I've just decided to give QRP operation a serious go. I've bought myself a
Oak Hills Research 100A 80m CW kit transceiver to get me started.

But my question is-

I have always believed that to qualify as QRP, the power level must be below
5 watts on CW, FM or PSK. And below 10 watts PEP on SSB.
AND.... that to qualify as QRPp, the power has to be below 1 watt on any
mode.

Is this correct?

Thanks for reading

Note that there was a time when anything under 100 watts was considered
QRP.

A when valves were king, receivers were useless and operators were real
operators )

Makes you wonder what technology we will be using in another 100 years
though.....
