[Elecraft] OT: The use "QRP"

[Gary Gregory]

Jim,

Right on mate. This "give me your first too" and "your suffix only" etc are
only encouraging " illegal operation here in VK.

The LCD ((Licence Condition Determination" clearly states you must use your
call-sign. Nowhere does it say you can use a part or half etc.....

I also do not answer these types of calls.

My licence clearly states I AM to use the Portable statement after my call
sign as my licence address is the licence tags on my Motorhome and so I
always use VK4FD Portable when in VK4 and Portable 3(?) when in another VK
call area etc.

Heaven forbid I heard a couple of stations discussing the merits of
returning 11 metres to the amateur bands..I almost had a heart
attack...(:-))..I don't even listen there anymore, I can't speak the
language Hi Hi.

Rant Off!
