It seems to me that a score per contact, rather than an overall 
multiplier, makes some sense and that it should be based on the *other* 
station's power.

Let's face it, if I run 10 mW and you hear me, and come back to me with 
a 100W signal, it is *you* that did the hard work digging my signal out 
of the noise, not me doing the work of digging you out.  I realize that 
there is skill involved in timing and offset of the weak signal being 
transmitted, but the receiving station ought to get higher score for 
that contact!
