How about a compromise? The difference between 100 and 200 watts isn't much..
but between 100 and 500 watts there is a big difference. There are lots of 500
watt amplifiers in the market now, for example the Elecraft KPA500 and the ones
made by Acom and Ameritron. People like them because many of these amps are
small and solid state. There's a pretty big difference between running 500
watts and the full legal limit. How about a medium power class category?
I've been doing LP in contests for years. But with the decline in conditions I
have been running my KPA500 more so I can have some fun. It would be nice that
I didn't have to compete against stations running two or three times more power
than I'm running.
