I just read the mail since I am not able to entertain getting a KPA500, etal.
But my experience running my K3/10 on 80m SSB is everyone hears me FB. That is not 100w its 12w! So when the noise floor is S3 and I am S8 (30-dB S/N) and the next guy is S9+10 it gets kinda crazy-funny doncha think! I even check into the Elecraft Sunday 20m net occassionally. Not real loud but once the antennas point up to me I get in. OK, I will be building a 300w sspa when I clear out the line-up of projects ahead of it. My cost est. is $2/watt not including cost of 28v PS. I've discussed what it is I am building, before. I don't really want to discuss it on the reflector. If you go to my website and click "About KL7UW" link, I list my future projects at the bottom of the page. 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 144-1.4kw*, 432-100w*, 1296-testing*, 3400-winter?
