Calling CQ on #hamradio is weird, because of the two ways it gets used.
Mostly it's quite clear because of context. But sometimes I don't know whether something like "CQ QRP" is supposed to mean "I want to contact QRP stations" or "I am a QRP station and just thought everyone would like to know." Or maybe a bit of both.
