[CQ-Contest] NAQP change

[James Funk]

Not a lot new to add, but if we get down to "vote counting"....

Here are my reasons for NOT wanting to change the power limitations for DX
in NAQP:
1) Limited benefit to DX: They still have to be able to hear NA to work us.
We still run 100W.
2) Limited benefit to NA: They still have to be able to hear NA to work us.
We still run 100W.
3) No benefit to the Midwest.  The East Coast works more EU.  West Coast
works more AS on low bands. Maybe.  Selfish on my part, yes.
4) Logical extension is HP/LP classes for NA as well.  One of the great
characteristics of NAQP at present is NOT competing with KWs for bandwidth.

What is there not to like about a contest where you never run out of people
to work?  (Somebody else asked that first.....)

Notwithstanding the original post, and some thoughtful responses, from
individuals I respect a great deal, I would still have to vote, "It ain't
broke...."
