[CQ-Contest] Logging /QRP

[Mirko S57AD]

As for SCC sponsored contests, before I added a short function which
truncated calls with '/QRP' in the call (or MyCall) strings, we had lot of
troubles during manual crosschecking all contacts with stations with '/QRP'
in their call for crosschecking software marked all the calls without
'/QRP' as Not_In_Log.  Adding '/QRP' to your call is as meaningless as I'd
sign as S57AD/BEER or S57AD/OVERWEIGHTED ;)

73 and happy new year to all1
