If your neighbors lights don't go out when you key the HF transmitter 
you are running QRP.
If you can't tune you amp on HF for a null using your neighbors lights 
you are considered to be running QRP.
On VHF and above:
If you can't use your neighbors lights as an RF indicator you are 
running QRP
If you can't use your neighbors lights as a calibration point for the 
UHF/UHF antennas you are running QRP

This from a guy who doesn't own anything capable of reaching the legal 
limit...except on 440...Here the power limit is 50 watts output on 440 
so the 100 watt Icom has to be backed off to be legal.

Oh! If the tires don't skid when you key the mobile rig you aren't 
running enough power.
