Great job Hector! QRP can be fun. Just a tip....Next time you might let them know early in the QSO that you're operating QRP. Good operators will give you all the time and attention necessary for the contact....Not that this operator didn't....he did a FB job in picking you up.
BTW, what band were you on and what were ya' doin' in Grants Pass? Were you headed for Shorty's place? My dad is headed there for some type of get-together.

It was on 40 meters 7.130.
Darlene kl0yc is a yl and a very good operator. I usually hold back on the qrp info, until we get into station info. I find it funny when operating kw stations
My beautiful bride's parents live in Grants Pass we were out there to visit. We were there the week before the Winsystem campout so I was not out there for that but a had some friends that were going out there for that but it was closer to the coast.
My mother and father-in-law have 5 acres out there I really need to make up a 160 meter antenna
