Yes, one never knows for sure until one makes contact and asks. If
precision matters, K3WYC/QRP/SIXEL/75FT is compliant with 47CFR97 and
would cover all those bases. [:-)

And sometimes it means someone running 5 W to a 6 ele Yagi at 75 ft! That
station has far higher ERP that I do running 100 W with my modest antennas.
If I was portable in UK, where had my first licence, my call was g3wyc/p. US operators
have completely butchered and obfuscated the meaning of portable by verbalizing k3wyc/7
as "k3wyc portable 7". The /7 suffix does not mean I am portable. It just means
I'm operating in region 7 and I'm saying so because it is required for the contest in
which I'm operating.
If you want special attention because you are portable why not indicate
portable rather than QRP?
