I like the "no external amplifiers capable of more than 100 W output." 
rule.

If I were running my 40 Watt (RTTY) rig, like a IC-706, and an external 
amp like my 30L-1 at 100 watts, I doubt I could be SURE I would not 
exceed that 100 Watts.  It most likely would exceed 100 watts.

I have an Orion that WILL do 100W, key down, just for RTTY...  I may 
even run QRP.  And yes, a QRP rig with an external 100 Watt amp is the 
"same" as my 100 Watt Orion.  If you look at the Orion, it has a 100 
Watt amplifier "stuck" on the back of the radio (and a fan attachment 
makes it key down).

Keep the rule "no external amplifiers capable of more than 100 W 
output."  I also like that all NAQP contests are "low" power...
