You want to talk about QRP SSB? I just worked the 10m ARRL contest using an 'Eagle Spitfire 454' 10m SSB/AM/FM WALKIE-TALKIE, with a 2.5 foot rubber-duckie type, base loaded whip antenna mounted to the HT with a BNC connector. The radio typically puts out about 3 watts, and standing in my driveway (albeit in the Decemeber cold weather), I netted a few DX signal reports, including a German and an Italian station!!! This was not with a QRP radio hooked up to a beam or quad, but with a simple walkie-talkie whip. To me, being licensed since 1977, there has been no greater thrill thus far than spanning the ocean with a diminutive, little, handheld unit! I was not able to work anything with the small, 8" whip that comes with the radio, but as soon as I attached an extended whip, it worked great! I highly recommend this radio if you are a QRP enthusiast on 10m. Unfortunately, it does not come with CW though.
