I disagree. Since it is a category I find that some operators appreciate
the information. It sometimes leads to a discussion about our setups.
With regards to miscopying someone. If you cannot intrepret the
information sent because of a weak signal QRM or QRN you have not made a
valid contact.
A person should never do that in a contest. Not ever.
It isn't actually even good to sign a "callsign/QRP" outside of a contest.
It isn't a legal identifier, although it doesn't hurt anyone else as long as
it is not a high rate or run contact series.
The real place for that in the non-contest exchange is during the ragchew.
There is never a reason or place for it inside a contest exchange unless the
contest makes it a mandatory part of an exchange.
I really hope people do not punish others by insisting on sending
unnecessary, confusing, junk. That is what it would be doing, punishing
others.
