All I am saying is that the QRP stations are in competition with other QRP stations, at least for the EPA and WPA awards. For the other awards, Rover, Portable and Mobile, indivudual county certificates, the X2 mult makes it neigh impossible for the QRO and/or medium power station to compete with a serious QRP station. 

I was going to try to stay out of this, but...  :-)

I've done 1500 watts out, 100 watts out, and 5 watts
out in the Party.  I can tell you from experience that
the x2 multiplier for QRP does NOT even out the playing
field with QRO operation.  It does, however, give a
scoring advantage over the 100 watt crowd.

BTW, carriage returns are a good thing.  :-)

72/73,
