Hi John,
I would not assume that without reading the contest Rules. Remember that
FCC Rules have not required signing /M or /P or /n (where n is the call
area) for almost 50 years. There are lots of very active contesters who
live outside area designated by their call, and who never sign /n.
But for contesting, we SHOULD sign /M if our operation is likely to
change our exchange during the course of the contest. I never log /n for
FCC licensed hams. And although I do work some contests QRP, I never
work stations signing /QRP, simply because their doing so is both
un-necessary and a time-waster (especially so if their signal is very
hard to copy anyway).
