I can understand this statement, however.. I for one can assure you that Knowing that there is a data base in the program is EAISLY overcome, with one simple step.. you don't fill in the call sign or grid box.. and you put your radio on desired frequency and listen. None of my low power eme qso's had pre filled in fields waiting for pro-signs to confirm a qso. So with that being said.. enjoy your pseudo QRP eme qso's using jt65, I know I did.. and when I get back on the air.. I will again.

Hi list,
I am using a homebrew single 6 el. Yagi (DK7ZB design 10.15dBd gain)
on the terrace of my house (approx 8ft above ground on a tripod))for "QRP
EME"
operations regularly. I am running about 90-100 Watt into this antenna
(approx 1 KW ERP). This is real QRP for EME standards.
See here:

Usually Gary KB8RQ always comes back on my first calls (even without
prior announcement of my call in one of the usual EME internet chat
rooms).
Thus, I would guess that it would even work with much less power (I
just never tried it)...so it seems "normal practice" at least with big
gun stations of the size of KB8RQ, W5UN, etc.
I would even say if he could work KB8RQ with 25w he should give RN6BN
a try with only 10-15w (he uses most likely the largest private array
on earth since he has recently expanded it). The smallest station he
ever worked via OSCAR 0 was a 4 el. yagi with 40W. I am sure you can
even decode him on a
dipole+preamp, since he has exorbitant strong signals (even compared
dipole+to
other big guns).
RX is generally not the problem: I can copy 2 and 4 yagi stations very
frequently. I even copied some single longyagi (6 lambda boom length)
stations with my tiny antenna in the past a few times. The only
problem is the return path where you simply would need more HF power.
In total I have already worked about 8 stations (the smallest were 8
yagi group stations) and had more than 15 QSOs with my tiny setup
during the past year.
This is of course only possible with the help of WSJT software and
JT65 mode, hi !!! Otherwise we would still be stuck in EME stone age.
