[CQ-Contest] Summary of Software and Transceivers used by WRTC teams

[Jeff Clarke]

Bob, They are already doing this.

They had a box connected to each radio that would indicate to the 
referee that you were running more than 100 watts.  I would assume they 
would just then ask the competitor to turn their power down if it 
indicated over 100 watts.  I believe they had a similar device in WRTC 
2008 in Boston as well.
