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

Hi Morgan,

WSPR has this pretty well covered already. WSPR stations transmit their power and grid locator. It is probably safe to assume they are running omni-direction aerials and the data is available from the WSPRNet.org site as a map or a database query suitable for external analysis. It also has many millions of historical spots going back many years.
