I almost couldn't believe my ears... a "DX" station signing "/QRP" in the ARRL 10m contest. Was I dreaming? Nope...guess not, 'cuz I just saw this on DX Summit an hour later: ARRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH ;-( 7
I have heard a couple of LUs also signing QRP. So what is the big deal? 73s John NE0P/QRO http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-contest __________________________________________________ Do

Anyone hear's what he's got for antennas, please let me know. I want what he's got. He was big here much of the weekend. 73, dale, kg5u _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mail
Yeah, that does get agrivating. I was on and this 7O station kept calling me with /QRP on the end of his call and I told him to take a hike. Tom W7WHY There was also an LU I think it was signing /qrp
The big deal as I see it that /QRP is not part of the call. QRP stations insisting on sending that unnecessary info while calling someone therefore make it more difficult for the other side of the QS
KP4KE/QRP was one of the strongest stations on the band throughout the whole weekend. Never heard such consistently strong a 5 watts station. Sometimes he was louder than ZF2NT or LT1F. 73 VE3DZ ____

/QRP Ops looking for "/QRP" on QSLs please note: I think many people do the same thing. contest. That is another reason why signing "/QRP" in a regular contest is a waste of everyone's time, because.
I can say to you that I was really QRP and with no "spots" to help me... 130 mixed QSOs was my best at this situation... See you next year... Vitor Luís Aidar dos Santos, PY2NY P. O. Box 204 -

I suppose this discussion is all fine and good but how many of the /QRP-sending types do you suppose are reading postings on CQ-Contest? 73, Mike K9NW _______________________________________________
