I worked 2 stations signing /QPR during the contest In both cases it took multiple repeats to get the full call and the Contact would have been quicker for all concerned had they not sent /QRP each time and just sent their call a few more times
In both cases I was happy to work them, after the first thousand fresh QSO's are fairly slim pickings in the CQWW160m contest Sometimes when I am feeling 'ratty' and someone insists of signing /QRP on each over I respond by signing ei6iz/QRO Over the years I have had many enjoyable QSO's with QRP stations, I hear well here as I am in a rural location with fairly decent antennas and I enjoy working other stations regardless of power level I am happy to work QRP stations but signing /QRP is pointless and will not make me more likely to expend effort digging you out of a pileup On 31/01/2011 18:37, Nick-WA5BDU wrote: > I made about 380 Qs in the 160 meter test and worked some at the > superstition level, a couple I used the APF on, several who were no > doubt QRPers. > > I never heard anyone sign /QRP.
