Hi all,
I've just seen the 3830 summary for this contest, and I am a little
puzzled.....
The rules clearly state (3.) 100 watts output maximum.
And yet, some have put themselves into the HP category!
I am assuming they thought that as there is no QRP category, or only ONE
power level, they would use the HP section in the 3830 form?
But, having said that, I suspect that several stations were using a bit more
than 100 watts.
I heard several EU/AS stations that were so loud they had copyable signals
above and below their Tx frequency. Maybe overdriven AFSK can account for
that as well, but these stations were end-stopping on the meter, whereas
most folk were S6 - S9.
Over the past months, I have found it better to reduce output power,
especially when CQ'ing. In WAEDC and CQWW, I was down to around 50 or 60W
out, and in this one, I ran at about 70 watts, apart from calling the VP2
and the PJ2, for which I pushed out the full 100!
Just my thoughts.....................
73 all
