This is something that the Oman Radio Society asks all members to do for a
month starting on "National Day" (Read 4th July)
What a pain in the a**e !!! for example "a45wg/ND48" (National-Day 48th
Year). It is totally meaningless for 99% of all hams.
I like the /qrp if they truly are qrp
I now get down from my soap-box
73s all
