[UK-CONTEST] QRP Practice during the contest ?

[Clive GM3POI]

And an even more important point is the skill of the operator trying to hear
your low power weak signal. There is no skill in being weak, the skill is in
the DX hearing you. 73 Clive GM3POI (Founder member of the weak G club)

Any DXpeditioner will tell you that it is common to hear "***/QRP ***/QRP" -
if only they had sent the call-sign without the /QRP it would have been
copied! Instead they lost the chance of a QSO.

I also rather resent their presumption that indicating QRP somehow demands
that I give them priority over everyone else. Many DXpedition operators can
and do pick out weak callers from the pile-up - if the frequency has been
precisely positioned to be in the clear. 400 watts into a half-size G5RV at
ten feet may be the same as 5 watts into a high beam: if you're weak it's
your operating skill that gets you through, not some crutch.

For what it's worth, I don't think you should ever use /QRP.

It's not a valid suffix.
