[RTTY] Why 150W LP in Roundup?

[Rex Maner]

I've been doing something dangerous.  THINKING

If I use my Amp.  I can make up for that 3 to 1 SWR, I just have to take a
math course to figure it out.  If I start with 1.5 KW and divide by 3 I'm at
500 now all I have to do is decide which side of 150 W I want to be in.

See all of you on LP in the test.

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
