At the Contest University I gave a talk on Contesting Ethics.  During the
section on obeying power limits, I made a reference to turning the knob past
10 to 11 as a metaphor for breaking the rules.  Several people in the
audience identified the movie this was from (Spinal Tap).

K1DG found a video clip from the movie that explains it all.  Be sure to
watch all the way to the end.

And just because the knob on your amplifier might let you go to 11 (or 12,
or 13, or even more), please remember contesting is a game and it only works
if everyone trusts each other to stay within the rules!

Randy, K5ZD
