For contesting or dx chasing, I think I would rather be parked next to a guy
with this amp running it's clean limits than the all-too-common SB220 owner
who has all the dials set to 11 in the thought that the extra 200w he can
whack out is actually going to make a difference in the pileup.

Putting the rules aside for a moment,
On what justification?
Certainly not yours which doesnt count anyway.
who has a higher ERP, the 10KW to a vertical in a restricted subdivision
The resulting RFI to home entertainment systems would make that a recipe
for a lynch mob! Fair-Rite would love you!
How is 8.2dB more going to make much of a difference? I run no more than
1200W so this is not about me....or you.
or the station with 1500W to stacked monobanders?
Are you suggesting that someone who has to have a monster amp to make him
feel big will be satisfied with anything less than a monster antenna?
I asked a question and if you cant answer than keep your mouth shut. This
formum doesnt need judgemental loudmouths.

How about all you olks with 200 foot towers
Which olks are you talking about? My highest gain antenna is a 3-el
SteppIR, and although I live in the heart of contesting country, I don't
know of any 200 ft towers, nor do I know about any 3-el 80M Yagis at any
height, let alone 200 ft!
reduce your power by 15 db, so the playing field within the sandbox gets
leveled for the 1st time in 30 years.
Although I do most most of my contesting with a legal limit amp, I
recently ran ARRL SSB DX and CQ160CW QRP (5 watts). I've also worked some
DXpeditiions QRP. That will give you a different perspective. :) It will
also give you greater respect for the guys who have put together good RX
capability, both by working on their antennas and by chasing down and
killing local noise! And it will make you a better operator.
