[CQ-Contest] Maximum allowed power. Was: RDXC Entry Reclassified to High Power

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

Sure glad to know that there is no cheating in contesting.............

Errr to contest I guess you have to cheat.  Is this what the hobby is 
turning into?  Ignore the contest rules, Ignore your governing body 
rules just to play a game?  Everyone else does it so it must be ok?

How many people that sit on these contest committee deciding the fate of 
all the entrants are aware of these violations yet do and say nothing?

And I personally have no problem with that because we are competing fairly with each other and within the contest HP limit. The one rule of some contests (not the CQ WW I am happy to see) I could break with a clean conscience. And I suspect most HP contesters practice this way too....but the replies will no doubt be interesting!73 Bob HS0ZIA
