How much power?

[frenaye at pcnet.com]

A few weeks ago someone mentioned one of the differences between the east and 
west coast USA contest efforts was that the west coast worked a lot of weak 
10w JAs (those with a license with a 10w limit who can't use 20m).  I 
started to wonder how many QRP or low power stations we were working from the 
east coast  - the table below is from the K1KI multi-multi effort in the ARRL 
DX Contest on CW and shows the power received (percentages) from stations on 
each band

Yes, some of those in the 1-10w and 11-98w categories may have been sending 
QSO numbers instead of power...  I was surprised to see that half of the 
contacts were with stations sending 100w (and a few at 99).  Can anyone do a 
similar table for a west coast multi-op log?


%	1-10w  11-98w  99-100w 101-998w	999-Kw	Total	QSOs
							
10	10.0%	 5.0	60.0	15.0	10.0	100.0	  20
15	 3.0	 6.8	44.7	24.5	21.1	100.0	 237
20	 6.7	10.5	52.1	23.8	 6.8	100.0	1708
40	 4.6	 7.5	51.4	27.5	 9.0	100.0	1126
80	 1.9	 4.7	49.6	32.2	11.6	100.0	 845
160	 4.7	 5.4	33.7	35.5	20.8	100.0	 279
							
Total	 4.9%	 8.0	49.8	27.3	10.1	100.0	4215
