Fellow & Fellowette Contesters: I?ve been scratching my bald head here trying to figure what the missing Single Operator Class power level designation is pursuant to the published 2008 CQ WW 160m DX
That likely means that if someone runs exactly 150 watts, they won't make a Q with a Wyoming Q station. They will be too busy watching their pwr meter to listen for a Q. --... ...--Dale - WC7S in Wy
Theoretically speaking, the probability that anybody would be running EXACTLY 150 watts ... or be able to measure it perfectly so as to know they were running exactly 150 watts even if they were ...
Dear Mr Locust... Because it would take an infinite amount of time to make an exact measurement of anything, your question is moot. By the time you complete the measurement, the Universe will be a u
In a bit of defense of Locust, and yet realizing that he posted the ponder in jest, it actually would not be very difficult at all to create a transmitter that maintained an output power of 150 watts
Let's assume I have a Bird 43 showing 140W forward and 15W reflected using a 250W slug. The power reading error range of a Bird 43 using a 250W slug (calibrated to factory spec) for both forward and
definite "buffer zone" between LP and HP classes. Just try running 150 Watts and the rules! Sorry, you cannot run 150 Watts. Period. A *buffer zone* - what a brilliant idea. Hey, maybe all Contest Sp

I don't know what the class designation is, Rick, but word has it to qualify for the class your entry must include calibrations certificates for your wattmeter which clearly show that it exhibits inf
Well, since we're having fun taking this seriously, let me pile on - the Bird 43 is hardly "state of the art" (albeit very useful). Larry N8LP's LP-100 is probably as good as it gets these days, and
