Gotta go solder on the Sierra soon, but been operating the 38s
some and began wondering:

1) Just sent my 40m WAS to ARRL last week, but been thinking of
   starting to keep track on 30m for 30m WAS QRP, but...
   a) Is there such an award?
   b) What needs to happen in terms of QSLs? Special documentation?
   c) What proof is there that the QSO was QRP?

2) Among "Low Power" contesters (<150w) there is much debate about
   the use of "amps" even if power is adjusted (down) to 150w. It
   has been subject of great controversy and many accuse others of
   using more than the 150w... Seems many QRPers have QRO rigs and
   *some* even use them QRP, so does this analogous question ever
   come up? My plan is to use a "QRP Rig" for any "QRP" operation,
   but again with QRO rigs here someone (with a severe case of sour
   or fermented grapes) *could* complain...
   Seems like honor among thieves or the like? Comments?

3) Is there a reference for (international) QRP operating awards?
