Hi All,
That sort of logic on the part of some Hams, though no doubt true, just
completely escapes me...
I liken it to deliberately stepping over a shiny new quarter that one sees
lying on a sidewalk: money IS money, and the frugal person inside of me would
never, ever allow me to do such a thing as to step over it...ditto a weak
caller in a contest: a QRP participant is still worth points in a contest, so
why on earth would one ignore him simply because he might be weak...?
If anything, I personally go out of my way to work weak callers: it can be as
much a challenge for me, as it is for him! That's why whenever someone signs
their call with "/QRP" I'll strain to put him first in my log...
