Topband: QRP Question

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

Legally signing /M is only legal if you are in England or one of the 
countries that uses the M prefix.  It is readily accepted as Mobile but 
is not a legal designator. I am not sure that most of the ones you 
listed are legal IARU or ITU call designators.  This could vary from 
country to country.

Sending  /qrp just takes up more time and adds more difficulty when 
signals are very very weak.

I also agree that those making contacts with QRP stations should be 
getting the bonuses for doing most of the work not the other way around.
