Can You Activate a POTA Park with Just 5 Watts?

Links to specific QSOs below ⬇️ Tried something a little different for me, QRP! I usually run 40 watts when working CW at a POTA Park. I like to be heard by hunters and QRP tends to be a little weak to be heard well. But I'm looking forward to taking a QRP to the top of Gloss Mountains so I wanted to test my QRP gear. I was pretty happy with all my gear, see list below, but my battery was a little on the heavy side. I'll need to look into an alternate, lighter weight option, before heading to the hills.
