This has often been discussed on here and elsewhere. /QRP is not part 
of any legal callsign, at least outside the USA. If a station sends 
/QRP on his call or sticks it on the end of mine in a QSO it is 
neither acknowledged nor put in my logbook or QSL card. You will find 
that contest and dxpedition operators take the same view. When in a 
pileup it is their callsign they need not the superfluous /QRP.

And I always say to people who ask, if you send /QRP you get a 449 
report. If you don't send it you get 599 like everybody else.
