[LCC] 2020 LAQP

[keith at kathyandkeith.mx]

Marsh,

I'm not sure that I can agree 100% with your statement about band 
congestion during the LAQP being that big of a deal. Sure you can make 
it congested.  Running max power and pointing a stack at Europe is going 
to make it congested.  And if that's all your interested in is those 
kind of numbers, someone might do just that. But as any knowledgeable 
contester knows, that's not what you want to do to avoid that kind of 
interference. Most modest stations (tri-banders and wires) running 100 
watts never have any problem.  I will throw it out to you.  Tell us when 
you want to have the LAQP so we don't have any congestion???
