OK, it's acknowledged.
There is also a rumor of a couple of IC-775's at 200 wattts out there.
....BUT....
There are a LOT more rigs in the 100W class out there, and last time
I checked, my IC775 could run at 100W.
NAQP is an attractive contest for "newbies" (low power, not an "endurance
test", simple exchange). I'd support a 100W limit, just to bring in more
of the "Joe Tribander with an IC-706" guys.
