[CQ-Contest] Distanced-Based Contest Concept

[Zack Widup]

It's unnecessary in SS after the callsign anyway because it's part of the 
exchange sent.

In VHF contests people sometimes ASK me if I'm QRP and I then say "Yes." 
But that's different. And on 432 and above, I'm sometimes just as loud as 
the people running high power.  Hilltops are an advantage.

Maybe there SHOULD be a contest where the receiving station gets extra 
points for working QRP stations.
