The big deal as I see it that /QRP is not part of the call. QRP
stations insisting on sending that unnecessary info while calling
someone therefore make it more difficult for the other side of the
QSO to copy call sign proper. I specially like when /QRP station is
asked for fill in keeps sending that /QRP many times. I never put
/QRP into the log, I only put there call sign. I also never send
"ua9cdc/QRO/ Tribander and wires"  when operating the contest. The
idea is to keep exchange as short as possible in the contest. I am
also irritated by those who in the contest sends exchange like ".. R
R CFM TKS es GE OM de XX0XX ur NR 59900# 59900# pse HW? de XX0XX bk"
Such station steals my and others time and lowers my rate. So I am
trying to avoid them whenever possible.

I have heard a couple of LUs also signing QRP.  So
what is the big deal?
