Perhaps it depends on the type of operating you're doing. In a contest no one cares how much power you are running they just want to copy your callsign and report as quickly as possible. Sometimes "QRP" is the only thing that is copiable and it becomes frustrating that the QSO cannot be completed because the actual callsign was not sent enough times. The FCC allows the self assigned /QRP indicator, I am not sure if it is allowed in all countries.

I run QRP a lot, both during contests and chasing DX, but I will never respond to a station adding /QRP to his/her call. > > 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
