[SECC] NAQP - Wire Antennas?

[Jim Stafford]

Jeff. It was based on your comment on 3830.  Was not sarcastic as I really didn't know.  I am not an avid comtester, and I guess I didnt read your soapbox closely enough so I thought I'd ask since I could not find it as I reread the rules..

BTW I also believe there are some who run more power than 100w.  Since I'm QRP, I also think there just might be a few who do not follow the 5 watt limit on that class.  After all 25 watts is close to 5!
