If you have more signal at the receiving station than your friend, then you would 'win'.

To get more signal at the receiving station, you could:

Run more power
Have a higher gain antenna
Have a more 'line of sight' path
Be closer to the receiving station
Maintain higher positive peak modulation

Or any combination of the above.
