[Amps] our amplifier in 2010 CQWW

[Vic K2VCO]

Personally, I /like/ it when some of these guys use QRO++. Let's face it, when they have 
an antenna system that cost more than my house (some of them do), I am not exactly 
competing with them, no matter how much power they run.

There is plenty of excitement available competing in limited categories or for 
geographically defined awards for more 'normal' stations.

And Carl is right that a rule that is unenforceable isn't a rule.

The louder they are, the easier it is to work them! And "racing improves the breed". I say 
"more power to them" (so to speak).
