I had a couple send /QRP. I thought it would be obvious from their
report. I had several 5 and even 4 reports. One report that gave me
a chuckle was 100K. Apparently the report was supposed to be 100 but
he ended the transmission with K. But there was no character space
before the K so it came out as 100K. No, it wasn't from that country
that usually sends 300 or now 500.
On a serious note, it makes it difficult to decode all the cut
numbers and such when everyone has a different style. If a station
sends 1K, is it 1 watt with K as the "terminator" or is it 1000
watts? One should think twice about sending K at the end of their
transmission in this particular contest.
