There is another possible change that would place emphasis on QRP-battery operation. Given that one purpose of FD is to promote rapid response to need for emergency comms, let the QRP-battery position(s) operate the full contest period, starting setup with East Coast and finishing with West Coast. This would greatly reduce the higher power QRM at beginning and end of the operating period. It would also place great emphasis on getting an emergency station on the air pronto, then upgrading to higher power as circumstances permit. Makes a huge case for K2-100 serving as highly responsive QRP rig with instant power increase when the generator and fuel supply arrives. Much closer to real world scenario and better than waiting for the higher power.
