Going All In With QRP?

I've been mulling over my real interests in amateur radio (again) and it's still firmly in the realm of HF and CW. And I've always had more fun playing with simple stuff and QRP.

Pros of QRP

With QRP

• you don't need to worry about huge DC supply currents and suitable wiring sizes, and high current PSUs.
• you don't need to worry about the ratings of components as much - lower voltage capacitors, smaller toroidal cores. Everything is much easier (and cheaper).
• you don't need to worry about high RF levels in the shack - or adjacent to the antenna (thinking EMF safety etc.)
• it's much easier to build equipment.
