Good point. Is it necessary to edit the call?
Had a few /QRP guys here also. I had it in my mind that the general rule is
what goes in the log is exactly what was sent/copied. Never thought about
it with a call sign before till you mentioned it - I do the OHIO to OH (etc)
translation (which is a violation of what I just stated).

My favorite was <Callsign>/QRP
There was at least 3 - probably more. QRP is not a country, and means I
needed to edit their call before I could enter them in my log, etc.
Not sure why these folks thought it was a good idea.

I can add another one, I was sent this by two different stations.
"PLEASE COPY" then the exchange.
It's bad enough on SSB, never mind RTTY!
