Steve:
Well, thanks for being my favorite contest guru again! (smile)
Are you going to do any of the contest?
Hope so!
I'll look for you!
Not that I can work you, but at least I'll know you're in there.

Tom,
Only DX stations send power level ( k, kw, 400, etc.). You only need to
send rst and state (5nn CO). You can run whatever power you want on any
band. If you were submitting a log, you would have to put yourself in the
category of the highest power you used in the contest. If you ran 600
watts on 2 bands and 100 watts on the others and you were entering a log,
you would have to enter as high power. Since you aren't sending in a log,
no big deal.
As for the first 2 questions: Yes only work DX. The rest of the world can
only work USA and Canada, so the whole world is looking for you. Not sure
about signing /w0 in your case. There are a huge number of US stations "out
of area" such as 1's or 2's in Florida, but I really don't hear anybody
signing slash w whatever.
73 have fun and good luck with the amp.
