It doesn't matter if you're a big gun or a QRPer unique calls will be
logged. What does being a QRPer have to do with it anyway? At least I know
where I stand, but to let you know we QRPers have receivers too.

Bill,
With all due respect to you, some of us sometime QRP
operators do have good receivers and can copy calls as wellas a big gun.
As a sometimes QRP operator, I sometimes do also get legit unique
callsigns in my log as well...as I'm sure others of us do.
As you stated it's not fair to make a blanket statement about us either.
