[RTTY] Why 150W LP in Roundup?

[Fabi]

I don't really know why John but I do enjoy having 150W than 100W I have to admit. In a contest this busy it gives the LP guys a little bit more punch to be heard in the heavy qrm I find. I don't really see a difference between 1 or 1.5 Kw but I do feel more confident having 150W under my belt than I would at 100W. Makes sense???? Maybe not ha ha. It could just be psychological mind you...HNY73
