No! LOL!

FP/ means he was operating from a French territory off the coast of 
Canada called St. Pierre and Miquelon 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Pierre_and_Miquelon) . It's a 
separate DXCC country, and French soil, so (I imagine) he's operating 
under the CEPT agreement we have with most of Europe, hence the appended 
callsign.

Congratulations, that is a fine DX catch.
