[UK-CONTEST] QRP Practice during the contest ?

[Peter Bowyer]

I always thought it counter-intuitive that QRP stations, who are presumably
expecting their signal to be weak and harder to copy than those they're
competing with, would want to make their callsign that much less
intelligible by adding a spurious suffix.

Suffixes are a big PITA at the best of times - just when you think you've
copied a callsign, an extra bit comes along to throw you. Don't use one if
you don't have to!
