If you use the 20A to drive a linear amplifier, such as the Johnson

I like contests. They're a staple for adding zip to amateur radio
activities.

He's been pretty insistent about it being a 'rally'
vs contest, with the WINNER being more like a 'best of show'
ER already changed the rules to allow class E, so if it was just a best of
show rally, he could change the rules to reflect that: collect best of show
points from other stations

I'm sorry to inform you gentlemen but these are times of Political Correctness.
There will be no single winner. Everyone who participates gets a Winners
Certificate. If your antenna fell down, you get one too because it wasn't your
fault you could not get on the air.

This is a new discovery?
AFAIK this has been the way it has always been. A lot of the radios
used in the Heavy Metal Rally have been traditionally commercial
broadcast radios converted to the Amateur Radio Bands.
Also the re-use of Military Surplus equipment as the BC-610.

I guess it is what it is. I just thought it might be fun to use the CE-20A on
SSB because on AM it won't get very far
Maybe I'll just have to use CW.
Thanks Bob!

Any club or group or individual can create a contest any way they want.
For example: Ron H, you could create a rally where only left handed banjo

IF you find a way to make it meet the rules - a rig weighing 250 pounds

It is simply what the rules have been. I could NOT participate UNTIL I
procured a BC-610.
It really has nothing to do with vintage, as it can be a

I think you all misunderstood! I wasn't complaining about the rules, just
thought it was a bummer that I couldn't play on SSB. I guess if I really want
to play, I'll fire up the R390 and T3. As a station, they might be on the low
end of
for CW, and AM without any hassles.
Of course YMMV
