In my limited experience, the main reason they use /QRP is to get you to log
them that way. They are not trying to maximize points, they are working on
QRP operating awards, and want a QSL from you that says /QRP.
IMHO, the greatest pool of operators in most contests is not the hard-core
contest op, but the awards seekers. My stuffed mailbox after every contest
is a testament to that!

ps: regarding VR2BG's observation - if I had a nickel for every time that
happened...!-)
