I don't actually use the on line log book, but if I get any incoming contacts I like to confirm them. However I recently got a confirmation request for PA9JO, which would be okay but when I worked this station he was in Jersey and using the call MJ/PA9JO. Is there a way this and things like /M, /MM & /P could be included in what shows up? otherwise it can give a false impression. It might look amazing that I worked New Zealand on two metres but the fact that the guy was a few miles away from my house might be given away if he was listed as GW/ZL1XXX or ZL1XXX/MM.

Each different modifier of a callsign needs a separate QRZ Callsign page to enable a logbook for that specific call variation.
In this case, the addition of the QRZ Callsign Page for MJ/PA9JO is required to create that callsign's logbook. Then MJ/PA9JO is also responsible for entering the proper QTH associated with each QSO; this is particularly important in the case of roaming stations, e.g. /MM.
