[CQ-Contest] NAQP Rules

[Fatchett.Mike@tci.com (Fatchett, Mike)]

I would support the 100W class and QRP.  I think most rigs can be toned
down to 100 watts.  Whether anyone will or not is another topic.

   Hmmm......If people are breaking the rules at 150 watts, what makes
anyone think that moving the power to 100 watts will be any different??

    How many of these 90 db over guys will send in a log??  How many of
these guys were just giving out Q's and/or testing a new install??

    If I got on for a few hours and worked guys with 1500 watts testing a
rebuilt amp and am not sending in a log or send in just a CHECK log.....Am I
in the wrong??  Should everyone who worked me delete their contact and/or
mult they got from me???

Food for thought.......No flames....There are enough politics in the hobby
already...

See ya!   Rich N7TR
