I have owned an FT1K for several years now and this was my first serious
attempt at NAQP cw.  I turned down the power output to around 125-150 watts
for the contest, as I was supposed to.  I NEVER felt like I was at a
disadvantage.  My feeling is that if you run higher power, you are only
cheating yourself.
No regrets here.  I sleep at night.
73 and best DX
