[CQ-Contest] SS Question

[Mark Bailey]

Hi:

Y'all need to consult the rules:

"4.6. With the exception of the serial number, which changes from QSO to
QSO, the exchange
sent must remain consistent during the entire contest."

You may be able to change your entry class as described, but you can't
change the exchange!

73,

Mark, KD4D

The precedence is your contest entry class, not your classification of the
moment.  If you make one QSO using 'B' power, then you must send 'B' until
the end of the contest.

Now what about the other way?  You start out as 'A' and find you're not
cutting it, so you throw on the amp and start to have fun. You should
change from 'A' to 'B' but you can not go back.
