I agree 100% with Jim on this. The only thing sending /QRP or anything
unnecessary does is make it take longer and make it more difficult.
I honestly think a good number of people will either just ignore a station
signing nonsense or be confused by it.
There is nothing more frustrating than trying to dig out a callsign or
complete a contact with unnecessary meaningless stuff tacked on.
