The think that I don't like about signing /QRP is that it
makes it harder to figure out the callsign - esp. if the
station calling is weak. It happened more than once
during the ARRL CW contest. In the noise and QSB I hear:
JA3 /QRP A /QRP JA T /QRP /QRP
Now if the staion would just send his callsign - it would be better.
I never log the /QRP part.
