[CQ-Contest] QRP cheating

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.
