From Steve, NU7T

Did you know a good QRP radio is actually a tape recorder ? This enables the operator to hold a qso.
Have you ever watched a QRP operator in action ? After each transmission he looks around the room to see if anyone heard him.
QRP clubs are gaining in popularity. Hams realize simultaneous transmission results in an audible signal.
Why do QRP operators, with an RST of 219, insist on telling you the details of their recent 2 month vacation ?
Did you notice QRP ops shout during an eyeball QSO ?
Old DX ops never die. They go QRP.
I listened to a QRP net last night and didn't hear a thing.

How can you tell if a mobile station is QRP ? The cw is accompanied by hand signals.
Why does a QRP op leave his amp on ? To keep the coffee warm.
Why does a QRP op in North Dakota keep his amp on ? To sit on.
Why does a QRP op keep his amp on ? In case of an emergency situation.
I love QRP nets. It is always my turn.
Funny thing, my AF knob only works on .060.
How many QRP Ops can use the same frequency ? All of them, because they won 't interfere with each other.
The best use of the chat room is for QRP ops to hold a QSO while on the air.

QRP keys also serve as tie clasps.

Did you notice a QRP op makes as many contacts after his batteries die ?
Why are there no questions on FCC exams regarding QRP operation ? You can't improve a good joke.
How many QRP stations does it take to make a QSO from one state to another ? Sorry still counting relays.
One advantage of QRP is no RFI complaints from ops or neighbors.
If you make a mistake during assembly of a QRP kit, your number of contacts will not be affected.
I think I have finally made a QRP contact. The QRP rig was connected to my 11 element log periodic.
