Is there not a archive of RBN readings for the contest(s) in question?
Could the two (or more) stations SNR not be compared at various points around
the world? If signal strengths between two stations in different power
categories are very similar, something is suspicious. Just asking... Paul

Yes, we need more than just "radiated power" to have a QSO.
Even though, perhaps KP4KE's bazooka does not show 25dB gain, but NP4A can
have a 25dB loss!
Unfortunately it's easier to make a lossy antenna than a good one,
particularly on the low bands were ground losses can be high.
