Though of course that's 145w more than CW QRP. :-)
One thing I like about the QRP-specific contests is
that they tend to be alot more personal and friendly.
It's nice to be in a contest and be able to say a few
words with a friend during the exchange.
Along with that, QRP contests tend to be *much* more
polite. Very rare is it that a QRPer will come up on
someone else's freq in order to grab prime turf, for
example. They'll actually call QRL? and then actually
*listen* for a response. Heck, that's almost unheard
of in daily ops much less a big contest. :-/
