[RTTY] Question about NAQP rules

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I guess the rule should state that you will be disqualified if you have 
any type of amp located within 500m of your operating location and that 
any rig possible of running over 100watts is not allowed.

Rules were made for the rule abiding.  The cheaters don't care. Most 
will never be caught.
