Well you might consider this. I do a lot of DXing from J6. Typically the pile-ups are hundreds if not more people calling once it gets going. That 1 s-unit difference can mean the difference between working the DX or the band going out before you do. It's personal, right? Kinda of reminds me of the "I really don't need the horsepower of a corvette" argument. Yep, maybe you don't and we all can't be driving corvettes. But having one SURE IS FUN!

If I owned the KPA 500 it would be a hard sell to get me to move to ANY 1500 watt amp.
