Here is the rule in question:
7. Scoring: Scores are based on the total number of QSO points times the
power multiplier corresponding to the highest power
level under which any contact was made during the Field Day period plus
the bonus points.
7.1. QSO Points
7.1.1. Phone contacts count one point each.
7.1.2. CW contacts count two points each.
7.1.3. Digital contacts count two points each.
7.2. Power multipliers: The power multiplier that applies is determined
by the highest power output of any of the
transmitters used during the Field Day operation.
7.2.1. If all contacts are made using a power of 5 Watts or
less and if a power source other than commercial
mains or motor-driven generator is used (batteries, solar
cells, water-driven generator), the power multiplier
is 5.
7.2.2. If all contacts are made using a power of 5 Watts or
less, but the power source is from a commercial
main or from a motor-driven generator, the power multiplier is 2.
7.2.3. If any or all contacts are made using an output power up
to 150 Watts or less, the power multiplier is 2.
7.2.4. If any or all contacts are made using an output power
greater than 150 Watts, the power multiplier is
one.
7.2.5. The power multiplier for an entry is determined by the
maximum output power used by any transmitter
used to complete any contact during the event. (Example: a
group has one QRP station running 3 Watts and a
second station running 100 Watts, the power multiplier of 2
applies to all contacts made by the entire
operation).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
As you see it clearly says your score is bound up with the highest
power transmission that happened in your group. And it is rule 7. which
we would like to see changed.
Write your thoughts to this email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
the sooner the better. There are some new catagories which are especial
for QRP operation. The Class A Battery is just right.
