Dan:  Thank you for responding to my question.  Yes, I
did post my  route on the website.

To my point about the power multipliers and power
classes... you are correct, all the mobiles running LP
(most common) will be on the same plane if all
multiply their score  by 2.  They would be on the same
standing if all multiplied buy 3, by 10, by .... no
change.  If I'm a fixed station and running QRP
competing against all the QRP stations in my class, I
multiply my score by 3.  Why not 5?, why not 10? 
Everyone in the class multiplies by the same factor
and no change in position status results.

My take on the power multiplier is where there are no
power classes so a multiplier is applied in order to
"equalize" everyone competing against each other using
different power levels (Field day is a good example)

Anyway, I will be LP/Mobile and will multiply my score
by 2 just like everyone else in my class.  HI!

See you in the pilups

73,  Marty / W4MY
