Ultimately, what is the real purpose of signing /QRP ??? The only answer I can think of translates to "give me a break, I want special treatment".

There's so much more to talk about instead of the radio and Wx. 73, Charlie k3ICH -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Ron Polityka Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2017 3:33 PM To: 'Elecraft' <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Signing "/QRP" Hello, I operate QRP 99% of the time.

It takes skill while operating QRP, 5W CW or SSB, to snag a QSO that is local in the U.S.A. or a DX station. 73 Ron Polityka WB3AAL K2 & K1 owner -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Ken G Kopp Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2017 2:33 PM To: Elecraft <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Subject: [Elecraft] Signing "/QRP" I view it as a "I'm special ...
