Contests are a bad time to decide what is the problem Peter.
I know of people who stupidly turn their solid state exciter's internal
power limiting up an extra 25-50% just because the radio "can do
it". Some carry over from CB mentality of "peaking up a radio",
some just do it because others tell them it "works".
Some contesters, I'm sure it is not the majority, intentionally run a
little "nasty" just to keep people away.
Just because some people in contests cause problems, or
because that system appears to work in one case, doesn't mean
we should embrace a poor design and encourage its use.
