If a guy is not competing for a prise, why do we care what (legal) power level
they use?
Here's a simple example of why we care from last night on 80M. In S&P
mode, I was calling a station who had a considerably better signal than
many from the east coast I had worked, but I wasted a lot of time trying
to get his multiplier.
Another example -- I'm running S&P and calling another station I need as
a mult and a high power station wins the jump ball. He's 12 dB louder by
virtue of his power amp, not his antennas or distance.
