I agree with Don on QRP and low power.  Running the CQ 160 Contest for 16 
years plus helping Don for 8 more I can tell you cheating does go on.  I 
remember the VE5 who said 100 watts was QRP on 160.

Don N4IN was not in favor of adding QRP or Low power to the contests and I 
had second thoughts after a station in the US 3rd call area
actually ran stations while claiming QRP.  I tried QRP one year and after 
several hours of almost nothing I switched to Low power.  Neither allowed me 
to run the contest like with my big 8877 amp.

99.9% of the contesters are honest but it takes just one or two to sour you 
on QRP and Low Power entries.
