[CQ-Contest] 100 Watt power limit for Sprints-Discuss

[Jeffrey Clarke]

When these discussions come up no one ever seems to talk about the ERP of
the antennas that people are using. If you change the power limit to 100
watts is it fair for someone using a wire antenna such as a dipole to
compete directly against someone using directional gain antennas such as
yagi's and quads ? This surely isn't a level playing field.

 

I wish NAQP would go to high power and low power categories. I think the
Sprints are fine the way they are. The noisy conditions on 40 and 80 meters
in last night's Sprint was a good example of why we should keep high power.
