I agree with Tree. Yes, the NAQP rules allow HP entries as CheckLogs, so it's
technically 'permitted'.
But in PVRC we promote NAQP as a 'gateway contest' to develop new talent. We
have added many new operators this way, for the direct benefit of radiosport
through the increased activity level.
Fact is - NAQP is the only major contest with a 100-watt max power level. A
few times a year, it's great to have the band free of wide, splattering,
rock-crushing signals (and I am not saying W5WMU has one - that's just a
general statement).
