I guess the rule should state that you will be disqualified if you have
any type of amp located within 500m of your operating location and that
any rig possible of running over 100watts is not allowed.
Rules were made for the rule abiding. The cheaters don't care. Most
will never be caught.

Now that is the silliest thing I have ever heard. Why would we run
more that 100 watts - cause we're cheaters? Why italicize 'you'? Are
you singling out Biil?? 73

That is the "what" of the rule. The question is "why".
As mentioned before, there are some ops who would prefer to run their
transceivers at a low power level to reduce stress on it and use an
amplifier to reach 100 watts.
As I recall, many Yaesu transceivers are NOT rated for 100 watts on
full duty cycle modes such as RTTY. Should these ops be forced to
compete at reduced power? Or risk damaging their rigs in order to be
competitive?
This rule is silly and should be rescinded.
