Re: [Elecraft] Do not sign /QRP
I've been at ham since 1972. I've been on qrp since the beginning. My first transmitter was 100 mw. My added amplifier was 200 mw. The OX2 and PAX by ICM. Not official but by adding /QRP I was hoping the other party would try to work me. I never looked at it as legal. K1, KX2, K3, & K3s.

Re: [Elecraft] Do not sign /QRP
I always thought it was during the rag chew one would mention the rig. Then the other station could say "wow all that signal is QRP?". I guess I've been doing it wrong. Hi hi.

Re: [Elecraft] Do not sign /QRP
So are you saying that a operator who uses a KX2, KX3 is more experienced and is a more valid contact than say someone using a FT817?. Because that is just pure arrogance, saying that Elecraft operators are the only experienced operators in the world. Oh and yes i use Elecraft KX2, KX3, K3 on a daily basis, and while i think they are the finest radios on the market and value for money, there are many people out there who are superb operators who do not have the financial means to use Elecraft.

Re: [Elecraft] Do not sign /QRP
Sadly Dan, both /KX2 and /KX3... and /K3, /K2,/KX1, /KPA, KAT ... are all non-compliant for US hams. All the K's belong to the US as ITU-assigned prefixes./KM6is as well, although Elecraft hasn't made one of those yet, however they are all valid US prefixes, and thus ineligible for indicators. This is all pretty simple, there's a table you can get from "you know where," and the rest is really easy. You won't [likely] go to jail or be [likely] fined for using your suggestion on the air, but if compliance with the rules matters to you, the rules are pretty clear. 73, Fred ("Skip") K6DGW Sparks NV USA Washoe County DM09dn On 7/28/2017 8:11 PM, Dan Baker wrote: Yep thats right do not sign /QRP.
