[RTTY] Fwd: Re: Possible Rules Change NAQP

[Cheryl Whitlock]

Received this response from K6UFO, after I asked about the 100 watt no amp
rule. Looks like there might be hope in the future.

Hello Cheryl,
Thank you for the request. This rule was put in place awhile ago,  before I
became involved with the contest, so it is time to reconsider it. The NAQP
Rules have to be agreed upon by the contest managers for all three modes
(CW, SSB and RTTY) so there may be additional concerns that I don't know
about.  I will see that we consider simplifying this rule before the next
publication of the rules.

I would like to request a modification of rules on power output in the NAQP
contests. I have no problem with the 100 watt maximum, but wonder why you
do not allow external amps to run 100 watts, and not restrict transceivers
capable of transmitting excess of 100 watts. Cheaters will cheat regardless.


Thank you,
