I operate QRP and normally give out that information as well as my power levels after the signal report.
As a QRP op myself, I urge you to NOT do that. If I had worked to dig a 
weak signal out of the noise, I would interpret ANYTHING after R or TU as 
telling me I had miscopied something, and you are repeating it.
NEVER send anything extra.
I agree 100% with Jim on this. The only thing sending /QRP or anything 
unnecessary does is make it take longer and make it more difficult.
I honestly think a good number of people will either just ignore a station 
signing nonsense or be confused by it.
There is nothing more frustrating than trying to dig out a callsign or 
complete a contact with unnecessary meaningless stuff tacked on.
