Don't worry - I didn't feel like you were having a go!
As we all know, there are folk who deliberately operate with higher power
than permitted in a contest. And there are legitimate reasons too. And for
the record, when I'm competing I'm happy to get every single point whether
the other station is operating within the rules or not. I cannot tell
whether they are giving away points or competing and I do not want to judge
them. I just want the points!
I really enjoyed the hour or so I spent in the 10m RTTY contest. I will
probably make the effort to actually complete next year. I too was pleased
to work VP2MWG this time - I probably got him just after you did as I saw
your callsign on my waterfall. I have VP2 on 10m CW but this was a first
for VP2 on 10m RTTY. I'm hoping to catch GU on 10m at some point! ;-)

Hi all,
I wasn't having a go at anyone with my comments, although I now see that it
may have appeared this way.
I am sure there are some that didn't read the rules, or planned to send in a
checklog anyway, and kudos to them for operating this way.
I did wonder if I had mis-read the rules in some way, as that wouldn't be
unknown either. I did re-check just to see if multi-op stations were allowed
high power, as that can be the case in some contests.
I also wanted to make sure that anyone who submitted a 3830 score under HP,
knew that this was probably in their Cabrillo file too, and to check!
Whichever way you look at it, this was a great contest, and it is good to
see 10m alive now.
There were some nice DX stations active, and my contact with VP2MWG has
already been confirmed on LoTW.
73 all
