I have been running at 3W SSB for the last month or so and yes , it has been very difficult with my maximum distance with it only being about 1200 miles.
Heavy QSB seems to have been the biggest problem for me recently.
@OH2FFY Thanks! Wow 3W is awesome. I am not sure, but I believe with the vertical configuration I use, I put out a little less than 5W. Either way, QRP is so much more fun than being a power blaster. I like the challenge, and experimenting with conditions and configurations in order to get maximum power with so little. One day I hope to work you over in Finland!
Fun Vid, hope to work you QRP someday, 73

QRP certainly requires lots of patience :-)

@kj6bbs ¨much more fun than being a power blaster¨
Yep, It doesn't take much skill or many brain cells to turn on a linear. :-)
