[VHFcontesting] Smaller 222 amplifier

[Jeff Townsend]

You might also want to think outside of the contests as well so don’t discount the options above 100w.
You can always turn it down for the contests.

If you go out for grid or state activations for others you may need more.
If you go out during meteor showers extra watts will also help.
