NO! Absolutely not! Allowing High power in the NAQP would ruin, spoil  
and destroy its character.
NAQP is a low power contest. The rules clearly state that you cannot  
run an external amplifier, and your rig must be limited to 100 watts.  
This puts everyone on a near-equal footing.
If someone wants to run high power in NAQP for the fun of it, I have  
no problem with that -- just be sure to submit in the correct  
category in Cabrillo:
CATEGORY: CHECKLOG
Running high power in the NAQP means your score doesn't count. Period.
