Perhaps a timely reminder that, although many stations are heard 
signing /QRP, it is not within the terms of the UK amateur licence 
and should not be used.  If you want to indicate you are QRP then you 
should use eg G3YMC QRP - and leave it off in your contest log!

I rarely sign QRP in any form (and certainly not in a contest).  I 
can break the pile ups just as well without it with the 5W from my 
K2, and get a 599 like everybody else.  Those who sign QRP get 559 
reports!!
