[UK-CONTEST] Mega stations in the UK and elsewhere

[Bob Henderson]

I'm utterly fascinated to understand what makes your beam usable only 
with an amp.  Mine works well and often with just 1W.

Surely it is the prerogative of contest organisers to specify event 
categories and up to entrants to compete within them?

Striving for competitiveness in categories which don't exist will 
inevitably provide us with limited recognition for our endeavours.
