Are there older transceivers (exciter alone) capable of more than 100 w
output (no "external amplifier") for RTTY. That okay? <smile> 73, de ric,

Subject: [RTTY] Question about NAQP rules
Quoting from the NAQP rules:
"Use of external amplifiers capable of more than 100 W output is not
allowed."
I've been curious about that rule for a long time and just now getting
around to asking about it.
If one has a high power amp and throttles it back to 100 W, what's the
difference? Am I missing some subtlety here?
I can see where some ops might prefer to let their transceiver loaf along
and use an external amp to reach 100 W. Why would this be prohibited? This
rule must have been inserted for a reason.
