[CQ-Contest] QRP

[Gerry Hull]

For giggles, I operated in the NA QRP Club QRPp event last night
(0130-0330), running
900 milliwatts from my K3.

The good news is nobody signed /QRP or /QRPp....

However, they did send a lot of other stuff not pertinent to the exchange...

I did not make it past half an hour of operation due to lack of activity
and boredom.  I did work
a bunch of guys, though.

It was interesting to look at the RBN web page and see how many skimmers I
could light up.

Agree with everyone here -- if /QRP is not part of the exchange, DONT SEND
IT!

73,
