Whoa!
This is an optional identifier -- some folks seem to think that we
are plague-carrying and should advise innocents!
Who will provide the scarlet red "\QRP" badges at Dayton
next year?
OPINION:
It all depends on your strategy whether or not to use the \QRP
identifer:
It might drum up some extra effort at the other end;
Keep the anti-QRP crowd from wasting their and your time;
Attracting rabid anti-QRP nuts to try your skills of preaching
folks not in the choir;
Subtly suprise folks after establishing the contact and after
obtaining an honest RST;
My best hope is that /qrp, when calling CQ or responding to a CQ will
call attention which results in extra effort. In SSB, many times the
\QRP will elicit a response -- even in pileups -- and the calling
station will say, "The QRP station, PSE."
Any reason except that we have an obligation to advise folks. Heck,
if they can copy the call sign and show an interest in trying to call
or to respond why do they need additional information?
Have a happy day,
72,
