Chris,
I totally agree. Most of my contesting is done QRP...with the
exception of when I am at a Multi-op or visting a station. I have
NEVER added the /QRP to my call. It just seems to be a waste of
time...and truth be told, I get a kick out of being copied without
using it...especially in a pileup.
