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. So this may be one of those things to
be indignant about that has little basis in reality.
If someone had signed
since I was running 100w from my K3
into an Hi-Q 6/160 @ 20' with 6% efficiency
so ERP was about 6w,

and
I am thinking of it the difference is that I have good antennas
I like to hear /QRP after the callsign. As a ham with a nice hobby I make
special effort to work them. Ted
