The power multiplier is 1.5x for LP and 3x for QRP.  The additional points based
on the other station wouldn't be available.

7. Score: Final score equals the total number of QSO points.  There is 
   no multiplier for different grids worked.  Stations running more than
   5 watts, but no more than 100 watts multiply their score by 1.5.  
   Stations running less 5 watts or less multiply their score by 3.  Scores 
   will be grouped by category.


For example:  I worked VE7VV in CN88 which gives 7 pts.  Since, I wouldn't know
that VE7VV is qrp, TLF would show 21 pts.  When the logs are scored, I would get
an additional x4 so the final would be 84pts for that contact.  N1MM would show
21 pts for the contact as well.
