I received a nice certificate for the maximum recorded distance per 
watt on 160 meters with a station that was running QRP. 

I think it's great the QRP ARCI gives both the QRP station AND the 
person digging him out of the noise credit. 

The fact this was a totally random contact during a contest makes 
it especially nice.

It would be super if something similar could be done in the Stew 
Perry and other contests with power multipliers. After all, it's the 
people who hear the QRP station that make the QRP station's 
efforts successful.
