[AMPS] Re: Italians and power?

[Jan.E.Holm@telia.se]

      Yes, I think QRM is the answer to most problems. During CQWW
       there is simply too many stations on the bands at the same time.
       I don´t think the Italians run any more power then anyone else so
       please don´t pick on them.
       USA is the only country I´ve seen amplifiers runing 25 - 50 kW
       so why not leave the Italians alone.

I think you USA guys seriously underestimate the level of QRM that is  
normal
in Europe. 40m in particular, being only 100kHz wide, with only half of  
that
available for SSB, has heavy QRM everywhere almost all of the time on
contest weekends.

I want to know why yesterday, in the contest on 10m, some s9++ Eastern  
USA
stations could not hear me, yet several s5 stations in the West could.  
Could
it be QRM again ?
