[UK-CONTEST] Original QRP contest - a little chuckle

[Dave Sergeant]

I had the receiver running around 7030 this afternoon (nothing else 
of interest on the bands...) and found myself listening to a G 
station in QRP. I heard him say 'now QRT,  QRM from a contest, 
another QRP weekend ruined by QRO...'.

Of course if he had done his homework he would have realised this was 
the Original QRP contest 
(http://www.qrpcc.de/contestrules/index.html) with very few of the 
entrants running more than 5W and some even lower. Pity he was 
blaming his own friends....

I used to sympathise with the views of the anti-contesters but it has 
all got a bit silly now, with loads of blatently untrue accusations 
being made. They have even been trying to sabotage the Wikipedia 
Contesting article.

Anyway, just put a few contest QSOs in the log...
