Quick point, if you are expecting UK stations to be using /QRP at the
end of their callsigns, then you will miss out on 99% of the QRP
operators over here!
Due to our licence conditions, the only suffix allowed are:-
/M - Mobile (includes walking around)
/P - Alternative Location (i.e., not at the listed address)
/MM - On a boat or ship
Nothing else is listed so, due to the way the regulations work over
here, nothing else is 'legal'.
You may find some people using /QRP, and they are unlikely to be
prosecuted just for doing this, but the majority of us will comply
with our licence and will not send /QRP even if the station we are
working *insists* on adding it! (BTW - what happens to the validity
of the QSO for an award if someone incorrectly adds something to the
callsign that wasn't sent by the originator? Including the ones who
QSL to G0DJA/QRP even when that wasn't what I sent <Grrr!> ?)
<Rant mode off>
Cheers and Happy New Year.

Oh, and I spotted at least four people sending HTML file attachments
to the list, what does this do to your byte count Chuck?
