I agree with Bill, for propagation studies WSPR has lots of data.
Station information can be sent to PSKReporter or any other service for 
gathering data.
If the 3 bits are used as an index for submodes we can have and additional 7 
submodes besides the original one.
One of those submodes could be WSPR-like sending power and antenna information.

   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.
