Joe: Is there any difference between QRP in caps and lowest case ???? Do the caps QRP mean the station is running more power ?  Jerry N9AVY

Besides the other Ham is usually surprised to see the power levels when they get the card.. I found it a good practice to watch what I am sending out to catch anything that may not be right so that I can correct it on the next. (I'm not the greatest typist on the planet.) Should have taken typing in HS when I had the chance. The teacher was great and the class was all girls. What an idiot! Joe KA1PPV #1482 On Monday, July 17, 2017 11:30 AM, "mwbesemer@...

That's why I do it anyway, but I do leave a space between the brackets and the callsign. All of the software have tried will then recognize that. HRD doesn't have a problem parsing non-alphabetic or numeric characters, so I don't have a problem with those who don't leave spaces. Possibly theirs can parse it as well and it hasn't occurred to them that some out there cannot. Harry, K9HW – #1959 From: 070@... [mailto:070@...] Sent: Monday, July 17, 2017 9:12 AM To: 070@...

My software does not recognize that as a call sign so I have to cut and paste it or type it in to make a QSO with that station. Why do some stations send their call in brackets?
