Yes, Jim, you are correct. My mistake. I've participated in enough NA
QSO Parties, both CW and SSB, I should have remembered they are 100W
parties. One of the reasons I like to participate in them is because
the power limitation helps level the playing field for us 'little
pistols'.

Thanks for the explanation, Dave. One small correction -- today's RTTY
contest the North American QSO Party, is intended as a 100W contest,
and features team competition with a limit of 100W. There are people
who enter at high power, but they are a very small minority. If I'm not
mistaken, those running high power are considered check logs.

It's not easy finding open frequencies for an exercise of this sort,
especially because today was the NA RTTY QSO Party (which doesn't take
place on 30M because it is a contest) that completely wiped out the
digital portions of the bands that we normally use for Winlink
messaging. So it was difficult to work around the KW RTTY stations,
to say the least.
