n6aa@juno.com (Richard J Norton) brough up some interesting points (you must be back in the states if you're using juno). No, QRP and low power should start and end the contest as they started. Any t
Unfortunately we seem to be at a stage of stretching the rules of contests as far as they will go. Forgotten is the intentions of the sponsors. Power levels/classes are what they are. It doesn't say
Hi Dick. A definite NO to question one and re question two, there should be a rule against it. For question three, I would say that contacts on other bands should still be allowed per check log rule,

Dick, This should be an interesting thread. Too bad I have to leave for Algeria in the morning and be out of E-Mail capability for the next month. Tom...K5IID 1. ABSOLUTELY NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!! Actuall
If a QRP uses high-power for any purpose then it should be reclassified as high power. The analogy would be using 1500 watts to break the pile-up for a mult and then work it with 150 watts. No. As to
Of course they should call high power stations! As much as I mumble and grumble about "those darn QRP stations" when they call me in a contest, forcing me to pull them out of the noise, they represen
No. Similarily They should be not be allowed to have a QRO or semi-QRO friend or accomplice call a station and then ask that station to "listen for" the lesser powered station. This happens to me reg
No Yes (sadly) No Should they ? NO ... Do they ? "probably" as that's why they are out 'trolling' the other bands .... rules NOW don't say they can't ... Yes ... (again sadly) It is a SAD reflection
No. In my opinion (obligatory disclaimer) the rules are already "against it". If you use something other than QRP, even for one contact, or part of a contact, then your entry is not QRP. No. Again,
This should not be allowed. Why not call CQ at High-Power and then make the QSO at Low-Power? The rule should state that "All contacts counted towards the final score shall be solicited and complete
Hi Dick, IMHO, the answer to 1 is definately NO. I run in the qrp catagory usually and would find such a practice offensive. I find it sad that there seems to be the need for a rule, but if the pract
By definition, if a station uses high-power, he can't possibly be a QRP or low-power category entrant. The question is nonsensical. Rule against what? I've heard of it being done. At issue here would
Dick, ABSOLUTELY NOT--Totally against the concept of QRP operation and violates the spirit of contest competition. I don't see much difference between calling stations with high power and then reduci
Seems to me that this question, and the others stated in the original message, revolves around whether or not it is OK to weasel around the spirit of the intended rules. To me, the answer is no. To m

Hi Group, I'll try to be brief: I tip my hat to those who can influence a multiplier to move to another band but I think it should be limited to "multi-operator" stations and "all-banders". I feel it
