[CQ-Contest] W5WMU experiment in NAQP

[David Siddall]

This has become a very strange thread indeed.  The NAQP rules specifically
recognize the possibility that some stations may run more than 100 watts
and provide that logs of such stations will be check logs.  (Rule # 15.)
 Even if it wasn't in the rules, the FCC, not NAQP, determines power
limits.  NAQP only determines power limits for competitors, not others who
may make QSOs but aren't competing.

In this case, someone announced that tests were going to be run with full
power during the time of NAQP and that the log would be submitted as a
check log.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, and indeed, the
email telling us should be commended as it prevents questions arising
during or after the competition.

Mellow out, guys, he's not competing with you.  He *IS* giving you contacts
and points. You should thank him for that.

73, Dave K3ZJ
