To Paula and other qrper's

After you build and start having fun with the cw qrp rig and you find out
your super model-X receiver is hearing more signals on the best antenna's
you  can  afford/install on your property, build a 50-100 watt amplifier so
more  stations  can  hear you. You will by then gained enough experience
and confidence to build a legal sized amplifier so everybody can hear you.

Life is to short for qrp.
