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

[tom wylie]

That of course should have been written as:   WN6ZDF/KG6

It's like those people who stick callsigns on the cluster like W4ABC/P5

not to indicate that he is in North Korea, but really meaning is that a 
Florida station is operating in Texas.  What he should post is W4ABC/5

Come on guys, for goodness sake, we're supposed to be intelligent human 
beings!

PS  Why am I not G/GM4FDM   or GJ/GM4FDM????
