Richard,
Good point about CAT polling. Could still be entered by the operator
though. Thoughts on the general concept? Is it viable or useful at all to
anyone else? What if it was reported to PSKReporter with the spot?

Station power via cat would not be accurate.
I run the radio at 100 watts all the time and use the Pwr slider to keep it
between 5 and 10 watts so reading from cat would give the wrong result, I
know I am not the only op that works this way.

I was thinking since you could gain a lot of useful propagation information
from JT-Mode QSOs, what if we included some info to help further define the
parameters involved in the contact. You can't fit much in 3 bits, but what
about some sort of "Station Type Identifier" like this:
3 Bits APP
Antenna Type
0PP = Omnidirectional (Vert, Dipole)
1PP = Directional (Yagi, Log)
Station Power (as entered or possibly queried by CAT)
A00 = 0-10 Watts
A01 = 11-25 Watts
A10 = 26-50 Watts
A11 = 50+ Watts
73,
