Well, if he's like most of us, he waits to hear "rig is...". ;-)
Being primarily a DX'er (QRP & QRO), I spend probably 10 hours listening
for every 10 minutes transmitting, and I think the original author had a
valid point. Based on my time spent around 7040 and 10116, I'd be willing
to bet that the percentage of QRP signals with a stability problem is above
average. It's good for all of us to be reminded that there are qualities
that are ultimately more important than low parts count or the ability to
fit into an Altoids tin. In the spirit of The Old Man, I'd suggest that we
should ALL live in fear of the Wouff Hong for such transgressions. And
while I can still see the wraith of HPM, I think I can hear him muttering
about some of the, ummm, shall we say "distinctive" fists that accompany
some of those same signals. If TOM were still around we'd probably be
treated to an editorial on "Code-bonics"!
