[Amps] our amplifier in 2010 CQWW

[Dave M]

And yet another consideration would be to create a new class of operation , perhaps based on ERP , call it "Elite Class" or something similar , most of the world class contest stations would scramble to qualify for it and they would be left to compete among them selves leaving us "Lower Class" stations to compete on even ground

> Some years ago I was participating in a contest ( I can't remember precisely which one) and was persistently hounded by a very strong signal from a UA station while trying to complete an exchange with another station.. When in QSO with the offending station gave him an exchange of 229 73. Later received a QSL from the UA and returned it "Not In Log". Got a letter from him complaining that this couldn't be the case he was operating from a Military setup running 10 KW with a Rhombic antenna. Food for thought ?.
