The Heathkit HW-8 was a very popular rig at a 'whoppin' 2 watts output. And, like many, I built a small amp that would produce between 10 and 15 watts when the occasion arose.
But many, many a contact was made with that 2 watts output and a simple vertical ant. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- 12 W is nearly an S-unit stronger than 5 W. Those who knew me in my NorCal QRP heyday, when 2 watts was full power, may be chuckling a bit. But hey -- if the goal is to communicate, at times a bit more power is justified. And as 12-W- capable rigs go, the KX3 is about as frugal as it gets. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
