What I don't get is why they feel they need to append /QRP to the
CALLSIGN. It's not part of their call at all, unlike a location
indicator. Why not just W6WRT QRP?
Might as well have
W6WRT/tired
W6WRT/needs coffee
W6WRT/hungry
W6WRT/messy desk
W6WRT/lousy antenna
W6WRT/dog wants to play
Makes as much sense and is more interesting anyway.
Bill, W6WRT
