Hi George,
Generally, I agree. I really don't like sending the /qrp, but I don't
know of any better way of indicating that I am not simply going for
an insurance q. I also think that a contest is a bit different
situation, and never sign /qrp there. Also when I send qsl's I will
mark the qrp contacts with the /qrp for the same reason. As long
as the return card has my call correct, that is all I care about.
cheers, Paul
