Hmmm.... Good idea. But I'm thinking distance propogated by the signal, not earth-surface distance. And you'd want to adjust for the effects of gravity as the signal passes nearer the surface of the earth. To keep it fair, I think we absolutely have to adjust for the attenuation of the signal due to the directionality of the antenna. I should get more points for a QRP QSO off the end of my dipole than you guys with beams get for QSOs where you're aiming right at the station. Ditto for the receiving antenna. I'll get started on the math unless one of you knows this off the top of your head. We'll want to nail this down pretty quick so the logging programs will have time to implement and test it.
