And enter in the operator and their station

Alligator -- big mouth --- little ears

Elephant -- little mouth --- big ears

Excessive noise on one end of the circuit can be a problem also -- they
simply don't hear you thru the noise on their end, you hear them fine. No
contact.

Doesn't reciprocity assume similar antennas and similar
power levels?

Even more important is accuracy of both "meters" and truth in reporting

Of course, someone running the legal power
limit into a YAGI is going to be received well by almost
everyone but someone replying with QRP into a short
vertical whip is going to be at a disadvantage. Changes
in polarization in the ionosphere can easily explain the
above if one station is horizontally polarized and QSOing
with mobiles.
