"/QRP often, but not always, indicates a field operation, and they're sort of fun to work, at least for me."
And sometimes it means someone running 5 W to a 6 ele Yagi at 75 ft! That station has far higher ERP that I do running 100 W with my modest antennas. If I was portable in UK, where had my first licence, my call was g3wyc/p. US operators have completely butchered and obfuscated the meaning of portable by verbalizing k3wyc/7 as "k3wyc portable 7". The /7 suffix does not mean I am portable. It just means I'm operating in region 7 and I'm saying so because it is required for the contest in which I'm operating. If you want special attention because you are portable why not indicate portable rather than QRP? 73, Andy k3wyc ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
