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.
