As far as I'm concerned, putting a KX2 or 3 (or any Elecraft transceiver for that matter) out on 1500W is insulting to Elecraft and the user. While I am typically a "brute-force" type of guy, it just seems like such a waste of such an elegant product. Now if I had to communicate with somebody on Pluto through crazy storms, then yeah. But here, even with these current band conditions? There are other ways to spend my money. Skills trump gear.
