Hey, that hurts, oh wait no longer QRP. I ran QRP (or should I say near QRP) for 2 years while doing SOTA. Last spring I got skunked on 1 summit. After an hour I only had 3 contacts. Now I'm running 35-40 watts and am making 10-30 contacts per summit. So for me, I use an amp to ensure I get at least 4 contacts after hiking 2-6 miles one way.
