US State / VE Province / DXCC Country is not necessary in message. You have other means to find out that multiplier: Callbook CD, Prefix in call-sign or ask the station during contact. Perhaps, but I like this addition. Many stations will be using low power, with which it can be exciting to wo

Hi Lyle (and others), I understand what you are saying (why shouldn't the QRO op get extra credit for working a QRPp station), but I believe that the power multiplier applied to the sending station is an attempt to: 1 - level the playing field ... someone running 100W is going to probably garnish

The power of other station is not essential. It is your power that counts. Good point. An exchange of power levels is, again, rooted in low-power contests. It's interesting, but I would say that this is the most expendable part of the exchange. It seems to me that a score per contact, rather
