As a 100 watt contester who won the SS New Hampshire Section Low
Power category for the last two years, I am opposed to the
concept. I run a modest station (TS940S with a Mosley TA33 at 55
feet) in a terrible topographic area. However, the Low Power
category has allowed me to be a competitor.
I don't imagine I would stand much of a chance against the likes
of K1DG in the same category. Instead of bumping everyone down
to 100 watts, create more 100 watt categories in more contests so
I can become more of a competitor. Unless I'm DX-hunting, I
don't work many contests that don't have a 100 watt category.
