I'm with Art. The NEQP is also on May 2-3 in 2020. I think it
would be worthwhile to go to the May 2 weekend in the expectation
that N1MM+ will add the LaQP to its consolidated log. With all
those QPs on the same weekend, entering the fray with one
consolidated log would be more fun than awaiting vote returns on
Super Tuesday.<br>

Really? If I run 100W RF out to less than a stack of
monobanders I will not<br>
experience band congestion? "Any knowledgeable contester knows
(that)"? <br>

I want to be in the room at CTU when you reveal to all that
"Most modest<br>
stations (tri-banders and wires) running 100 watts never have
any problem."<br>

Clearly, I am not a knowledgeable contester.<br>

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