With all due respect to you, some of us sometime QRP
operators do have good receivers and can copy calls as wellas a big gun.
As a sometimes QRP operator, I sometimes do also get legit unique
callsigns in my log as well...as I'm sure others of us do.


Further, if you think about it...
The QRO station is much more likely to bust the call of the QRPer, since he is usually the one
who has to struggle to copy. The QRPer is probably having an easy time picking up your call...


As a part time QRPer also, I give a lot of credit to those QRO stations who take the time and
trouble to copy my call. QRPers tend to claim the credit for their low power contacts, when it
is usually the station on the other end who is doing all the work. And I absolutely despise the
practice of tacking /QRP on the end of a call - almost as much as the signing of "last two".
