I'm not a tech by any standards. This is just IMHO. I have been active on 160m 3 winters chasing DXCC. The 1st winter I ran 100w. I managed 5 countries. I bought an AL 811h just so I had more output on 160m & the WARC bands. 17m & 12m. My operation is 99.9% CW. I am now at 108 on 160m. Same antenna. An OCF dipole at 50'. My watt meter shows 500w out. I don't push the amp for another 50-75w. I see no point. I added 103 counters in two winters by gg to 500w. on 160m. Since I use yagis on 17m & 12m I seldom use the amp. If you want to go from 100w to 150w on 160m go to it. Have fun. If you hear me on 160m CW calling DX know that the amp is on. Now if you come up with a 200-300w amp for 6m let me know. That's my next quest. Getting 47 more on 6m!
