Well, Steve, I was only planning on using 100 watts anyway because of 
the ground and RFI problems I have here with my new amp, especially when 
running CW with power.

So, I'll stick to the rules, go with 100 watts, and enjoy myself.

Am getting the laptop ready for logging as we speak.

Will look for you later on if you can make it.

73 and good luck from Tom Behler:  KB8TYJ

Hi Tom,

May get on a little bit tonight.  For what it's worth: The North American
QSO Parties are low power contests, with 100 watt limits.   No high power
category.

That would only be important if you were planning on submitting a log and
needed to obey the rules.  I'm sure lot's of guys  are running power, but
most guys don't submit logs anyway.

73, Steve KW3A
