Tom, they went through all of this last year on the rtty reflector--some
one contacted the powers to be and they said that "would check in to it"--
heard nothing since...until after the test and the same thread will
kick in again
IMO , a dumb rule-- if you are not going to submit any logs to them,,,,
Id run it at 100 wts wid amp-- I run my 590 at 55 wts or so in rtty
tests this mostly in s&p

There had been some talk in the past about allowing the use of

I know my TS-450's won't run 100 watts continuously on RTTY so I have
the choice of running higher power and take a chance of frying the
radio or doing what the manual says and run 40 - 45 watts. Yeah I
know - buy new radios. Not gonna happen :-)
With all the 200 and 400 watt radios out there, this rule seems moot.
Is someone with a 200 or 400 watt radio less likely to cheat than
someone with an amp set to 100 watts? Just curious about the
rationale for the rule. 73
