[UK-CONTEST] STROKE QRP SHOULD I LOG IT?

[Nigel G3TXF]

Good question, Alex!

Rightly or wrongly I (virtually) never put "/QRP" into a
log, be it on a DX-Ped or in a Contest. Several stations,
such as HB9FAX just love sending /QRP in all sorts of
circumstances. HB9FAX was around in a recent 80m CC too. But
no, I didn't put "/QRP" into my log. "/QRP" is not part of
the callsign. It's just a largely irrelevant item of
time-wasting verbiage by the sending station.

I would expect that any "good quality contest adjudicating
software" would simply ignore any "/QRP" stuff at either end
of the QSO. [Even if the contest adjudicating software
doesn't ignore "/QRP", I will continue to do so, and happily
lose points as a result - thanks!]

Hi
In the last 80M CC CW contest I worked a YU who signed /qrp.
Should I log him as  YU***/qrp, since that was what he sent?
If I don't do I lose the point?  Presumably his entered
callsign for the contest is not deemed to be suffixed /qrp?
