I have been reading this thread for the past few days, and I have to agree with
K9NW. This seems to be more of an issue with the big guns. Personally, I was
glad to get a spot in the some of the big guns logs during CQ WW because I
needed the multiplier. If I was operating with all of the aluminum they have
in the sky, I would have been able to get a DX in their zone, but it is not
always that way for us who have just a dipole and 100W.
Maybe the solution might be dealt with by allowing HP stations to claim a point
for the QSO.
I have only recently gotten back on the radio after an almost 10 year
sabbatical (not totally all by choice) and I am personally thankful for the
fact that I am able to make a half-way decent showing with my very modest
station. One day, when I have multiple towers and stacked antennas running
fully legal limit, I might have this problem.
Personally, I hope that the big guns will tolerate our (the little pistols)
"intrusion" into their contests and continue to answer our calls!!!
