[CQ-Contest] QRP on SSB ?

[K5NZ@aol.com]

I know  that 5w is the correct power for QRP in CW contests, but I had read 
several  different places that 10w PEP was considered QRP when on SSB ?  Sept 
SSB  Sprint is the first time I have entered QRP on SSB and I assumed 10w PEP 
was  correct?  I was bumped to Low Power in the results by Jim, and I guess  
because I told him I used 10w.  I wanted to make clear I was not trying to  
"cheat" in any way, but thought I was clear on the 10w?  So is it 5w both  modes 
for contesting?
 
HNY all...
 
Thanks Mike
