Let $\Omega$ be a subregion of $\{z:\, |z| < 1\}$ for which the Dirichlet problem is solvable, assume that $0\in\Omega$ and let $\omega_\Omega$ denote harmonic measure on $\partial{\Omega}$ for evaluation at $0$. If $E$ is a Borel subset of $\{z:\, |z| = 1\}$ and $\omega_\Omega(E) > 0$, then we find a simply connected region $G$, where $0\in G \subseteq\{z:\, |z| < 1\}$, $\partial{G}\subseteq\Omega\cup E$ and $\omega_G(E)>0$, such that $U := G\cup\Omega$ has the property that $\omega_U$ and $\omega_\Omega$ are boundedly equivalent on $\partial{U}$. We mention consequences of this in function theory.

Keywords: Harmonic measure, Green's potential.
