[Elecraft] FD Battery rules (was QRP Power Level?)

[BMW]

No, the battery subclass REQUIRES that all contacts be made on 5W or less.
This would be a class A operation with a power multuplier of 2.

This is part of the confusion. Power mults and power output requirements
should not be mixed. The battery class should be a separate class (as it
is), but allowing any amount of power (which it is not), and the multiplier
should then be applied afterward.

5 to 150 Battery would get a multiplier of 2, but would be noted as a
Battery subclass.
