Contests are a bad time to decide what is the problem Peter.

I know of people who stupidly turn their solid state exciter's internal 
power limiting up an extra 25-50% just because the radio "can do 
it". Some carry over from CB mentality of "peaking up a radio", 
some just do it because others tell them it "works".  

Some contesters, I'm sure it is not the majority, intentionally run a 
little "nasty" just to keep people away.

Just because some people in contests cause problems, or 
because that system appears to work in one case, doesn't mean 
we should embrace a poor design and encourage its use.
