[1000mp] Mark V Field Power Output Mod

[n4gi at tampabay.rr.com]

Notice that I wrote "usually" not "most".  CQ contests cut off LP at 100W.  NAQP is 100W.  

If eeking out the last 50W in the LP category is the true hidden secret to winning ARRL contests, more power (literally) to you. 


Have fun-73,
Blake N4GI
