@VE3RWJ @HopelessDemigod yeah, but those are metric watts, so it's more. Yes, watts are metric. I don't know what the native unit of power for non-metric countries would be. Would it be horsepower? Is that what our neighbors should actually be ham radioing in? (it's an easy conversion to remember... 745 watts to the HP, or just remember 747 like the airplane and you are close enough)

Have fun with your 0.13 HP and a wire, folks!

@VE3RWJ @HopelessDemigod the P in QRP stands for pony .. like a small horse

@VE3RWJ @HopelessDemigod I guess technically the Watt is SI, not metric, but still..

@VE2UWY @VE3RWJ @HopelessDemigod Yep! I was actually reading up on it last night, there are only seven base SI units, and 22 derived units.

It's pretty neat imo how you can measure pretty much anything based on those seven units.
