[CQ-Contest] /QRP

[Mike DeChristopher]

The thought a few years ago was that the DX would hear QRP and take mercy.
 That seems to have faded some.  Really, it just adds extra time to the
call and makes it tougher to copy.  Nobody cares how much power you're
running.

We don't send /QRO when we turn our amps on.
