I dusted off my arrow a few days ago and walked outside to work AO-51 and I haven't had any problems at all. I have been consistently working three and four stations a pass using 5-watts or less and my arrow antenna. I remember when it was quite difficult to get into 51 with the same setup. Maybe people have gotten more polite or maybe it's just luck.\n\n73,\nEric W4OTN\n\n\n>For what it's worth, guys ... any day can be QRP day.\n>\n>I'll soon be applying for the AMSAT Achievement Award using confirmed contacts \n>that were all made while I was transmitting 50 milliwatts RF out from my Yaesu \n>VX-7R, on 2 AA Duracells - the same set of AA Duracells, actually.
