[CQ-Contest] SO1R vs. SO2R

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Power classes are a historical artifact that, in most cases, 
predate ready availability and general use of directional (gain) 
antennas.  However, as long as various administrations have 
power limits that vary from a couple hundred watts to "no limit,"
power classes have some value in sorting the field.
