So, what you are saying is... Since i'm a microwave-head, I live in the fabled northeastern USA, and because of that, I'm killing VHF contesting experiences for everyone else. Kewl. Mark, K2AXX Yeah

Wow this got a bit out of hand. All I suggested in the beginning was to have the same catagories for rovers as for other stations. A limited catagory and a low and high power catagory. Nothing really
It's about making the categories more meaningful (see my previous email that shows how flawed the present power-only system is). A secondary benefit is that of assuring one's system is as tuned up as
Considering 8-watts of 3456 energy into 448 elements is certainly a LOT of ERP, then I'd say that one deserves to be categorized HP. On the other hand, if one wanted to be categorized LP, then simply
VHF, et all, I've been reading this thread with great interest because I believe there needs to be some changes in how the reporting is done in QST. I think that it is very obvious that those in the
