Hi,

I think will depend on how QRP stations will submit their log.
At the moment there are 3 logs submitted by stations as /QRP.
See http://www.cqwwrtty.com/logs_received.html

But I will keep it in my log as how I copied the callsign (with /QRP included).

Good point.  Is it necessary to edit the call?

Had a few /QRP guys here also. I had it in my mind that the general rule is what goes in the log is exactly what was sent/copied. Never thought about it with a call sign before till you mentioned it - I do the OHIO to OH (etc) translation (which is a violation of what I just stated).

My favorite was <Callsign>/QRP

There was at least 3 - probably more.  QRP is not a country, and means I
needed to edit their call before I could enter them in my log, etc.

Not sure why these folks thought it was a good idea.

I can add another one, I was sent this by two different stations.

"PLEASE COPY" then the exchange.

It's bad enough on SSB, never mind RTTY!
