Nick I really don't understand what point you are trying to make . . .
Why do you think running High Power in a Contest is "harmful"?
Sure, you had more QSOs in the CQ160 this year (running Low Power) . . . but
you would expect that, as you were operating for 7 more hours compared to
last year !
I agree that you don't need to run High Power to work around Europe . . .
but if you want to work DX (such as W/VE) you really need to run high power
in a Contest or most stations over there simply won't hear you ! (as
demonstrated by the very few NA stations you worked)
