Is it HF contest time soon??
- Thread starter binrat
- Start date
Sure, I'm pretty well open.
I was thinking of the magic 4 (80,40,20,10) with multipliers for 10.
Hmm, 100x multiplier for less than 10 watts then.All bands, WARC not included, full legal limit for output power
10X multiplier for earning a SO card during the contest?
Just joking. I have to get the rules up shortly but they are home on my laptop and I'm at work.

200 watts?????
Maybe i will take my reading glasses off then pretend I am pegging the 200 watt scale instead of the 2000 watt scale.
But if I do not use my reading glasses I will not be able to read what contacts I log
200 watts on 40 and 80 meters?
