[Elecraft] Signing "/QRP"

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

Ultimately, what is the real purpose of signing /QRP ???

The only answer I can think of translates to "give me a break, I want
special treatment".

I've operated many times with a barefoot KX3 and now a KX2 and NEVER signed
/QRP, or even mentioned the power level  unless the contact asked what I was
running.

There's so much more to talk about instead of the radio and Wx.

Hello,

 I operate QRP 99% of the time.

I never sign /QRP. It takes skill while operating QRP, 5W CW or SSB, to snag
a QSO that is local in the U.S.A. or a DX station.

I view it as a "I'm special ... Please take pitty on me - I -never- respond.
