I have a crass answer (based on something heard in a movie that Bert Reynolds
starred in some years back) but....the short answer is, in my opinion, those
operators who do sign /qrp don't think much of themselves, their equipment or
their antenna! Something has them thinking small about themselves and that
couldn't be a more in-accurate assessment of themselves or their equipment.
But - can't help 'em....
