[UK-CONTEST] STROKE QRP SHOULD I LOG IT?

[tom wylie]

W H O   C A R E S  if you log /QRP or not?   Entirely a personal thing.

The only time it might have the slightest relevance is during CQWW 
Contest where the logging checker checks call signs against callsign, 
where the /QRP might suggest a busted call or vice versa.

On a personal note, I only log the callsign - what power any other 
person is running in 99.99999% of the time is of no interest to me.

I am fully aware that my youth has been spent
That my get up and go - has got up and went
But I really dont mind when I think with a grin
of all the great places my "get up" has been!
