If the QRP transmitter gets the multiplier, it is incentive for them to stay low.
If the guy who works him gets the multiplier, it is incentive for him to dig out the weak ones. How about having multipliers for the QSO, not for one station or the other. No multiplier if both stations are QRO. 1.5x if one station is QRP, 2X if both are QRP. Multipliers would apply to both stations. The risk here is in making scoring more (too) complex. - Keith - -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Earl W Cunningham Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 11:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Re: EQP Proposed Rules Revision Lyle, KK7P wrote: "Let's face it, if I run 10 mW and you hear me, and come back to me with a 100W signal, it is *you* that did the hard work digging my signal out of the noise, not me doing the work of digging you out.

Not only should QRP stations get a power multiplier, but anyone working them should get bonus points for the QSO. The result would be that everyone digs deeper into the noise to hear the QRPer. To know if any of your QSOs merit bonus points, stations in the QRP category could identify themselves in their exchange by adding "Q" to the RST, i.e., "599 Q ......" 73, de Earl, K6SE _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
