Yeah, that's funny that you really ideally wouldn't use it for contests, but I think people lie and they do anyways. Because you're kind of supposed to use honest power for a contest. That's kind of unfair if you got 1500 watts and you're competing with somebody that's honestly like using either the 10 watts or the whatever they're using, whatever constitutes as okay for the contest, because 100 watts technically is barefoot. And then there's the foundation license in the UK where you have to use a lot less. So if you go through those guys, you're kind of being a big bully. I think part of the problem is maybe people do it anyways and they kind of lie about it, right? Like what would you do? You'd run 100 watts or sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I run 100 watts in a QRP contest and you say your QRP, technically you would be compared to someone that's got 1000 or what? Like let's say, okay, you're using a thousand watts to best someone who's got, you know, honest power. And what do you say? Right? Oh, I'm just on a little mobile. So I don't know. I'm sure there's, there's gotta be people that just kind of lie about it or whatever, but you're not being fair to the people you're competing against that are playing honestly with HTs or those little small HF rigs like the 817. It's like the closest you're going to get to to a handheld HT. So yeah, I mean, you got like antennas about the size of your house and you got, you got a fire to the wire geared up. Yeah, you're not exactly playing fair.
