Hi John, Back home in SFL now and still trying to warm up.  Brrrr

Good questions.  I'll post them to the reflectors with comments.

No, just like the ARCI Parties.  A G with a K2 would be 5 points.  A G 
without an Elecraft S/N would be 4 points.

Yes, again like the ARCI.  Except you can also count an S/P/C as a mult 
for each mode on each band.

There are already four power levels with mults.  From five watts to 
twelve watts is only about a half S unit at the other end.
Better to let the K2 loaf at 5W output?

Talk to Elecraft, but for some reason I think they might balk at that 
idea.  :-)
Certificates on the other hand would be very minimal cost...
