Here is what I found, and emailed to my fellow Arizona Outlaws earlier  
today. There may be more changes.

-------------------------------------------------------
NAQP events (all three modes) are quite popular. Below is a link to  the  
newly revised rules, which were just released.   

http://ncjweb.com/NAQP-Rules.pdf 

Here is what I found, in  a  quick read. You long time NAQP gurus/big guns 
(read N2IC, K6LL, a  few others)  pse chime in and add/correct as you see 
fit.

Expanded  multiplier  list::
-DC is now a multiplier. Not just part of MD, as  before

Off  time rule clarification:
- Clarified 30 minutes off  to be 31 minutes between  consecutive qso's. 
(Most knew this, but there  was always confusion among some  newcomers to 
NAQP.)

Output power  clarification:
Now defines power  output as "100W from the output of the  final 
amplifier". 
Thus, allowing  amplifiers at 100w output. BEFORE,  "Use of external 
amplifiers capable of more  than 100 W output" was not  allowed.

M/2 classification  clarification:
Not fully sure of  what was done here, but it appears that they  further 
defined the M/2  10 minute rule to make sure any transmitter stays on a  
band 
for at  least ten minutes. Plus clarified that only one name should be used 
  
throughout the contest.

Log entry deadline changed to 5 days
-Was  14  days before.

So  You're going to make us slog through the whole  document.. how about
just telling us what the changes are???

This is  such an annoying and time-wasting posting!
