The rules designed by N6TR for Stew Perry allows 4X for working a QRP 
station and 2X for a Low Power station. I think that's a very good 
rule.  I work QRP in some contests, and the many of guys that hear me 1) 
have worked on their RX antenna systems and 2) take extra time to pull 
me out.  The station who's running QRP gets a 3X multiplier; for Low 
Power, it's 1.5X. I think that's fair too -- if you're going to be 
effective at QRP, you need to have worked on your TX antenna farm, AND 
you've got to be a damn smart operator!
