Further, if you think about it...
The QRO station is much more likely to bust the call of the QRPer, since 
he is usually the one
who has to struggle to copy.  The QRPer is probably having an easy time 
picking up your call...

As a part time QRPer also, I give a lot of credit to those QRO stations 
who take the time and
trouble to copy my call.  QRPers tend to claim the credit for their low 
power contacts, when it
is usually the station on the other end who is doing all the work.  And 
I absolutely despise the
practice of tacking /QRP on the end of a call - almost as much as the 
signing of "last two".
