Hi Ric
I would say that they not cheating if using a high power rig at 100
watts. Same way for amps - they are not cheating if they have one and
throttle it back. If someone wants to game the system, they will do it
regardless.
I don't understand the rule. What is the purpose of it? Why not just
say '100 watts maximum power' and leave it at that. I would love to be
able to turn my TS-450's down to about 15 or 20 watts and drive the amp
to 100 and let things loaf along.
How about a KX3 and KPA100? Is that legal?
The 100 watt limit is the best thing happening in contesting!! Wish
they were all that way :-) 73

If the rule explicitly states "external amplifiers" WHY would "someone using
a transceiver that runs 200 or 400 watts" be accused of or convicted of
cheating? Perhaps the rule should be changed? Just askin'. 73, de ric,
