Dan Maloney KC1DJT describes the World of QRP Operation in his
Hackaday article How Low Can You Go?
Newly minted hams like me generally find themselves asking, “What
now?ö after getting their tickets. Amateur radio has a lot of
different sub-disciplines, ranging from volunteering for public
service gigs to contesting, the closest thing the hobby has to a
full-contact sport. But as I explore my options in the world of ham
radio, I keep coming back to the one discipline that seems like the
purest technical expression of the art and science of radio
communication – low-power operation, or what’s known to hams as QRP.
With QRP you can literally talk with someone across the planet on less
power than it takes to run a night-light using a radio you built in an
Altoids tin. Now that’s a challenge I can sink my teeth into.
