I do a lot of QRP, especially in DX contests. I wouldn't dream of 
hanging out on "a QRP frequency," and I never sign /QRP. If I get into a 
chat, I will say that I'm running 5W.

I'll reinforce the recommendation of 30M as a great band. The 200W power 
limit and no voice modes is a major advantage for those with limited 
stations or running QRP, antennas are of more reasonable size, and 
propagation is often quite good.
