K2 #850 with KPA100 in Grayling MI. 80/40 dipole at about 40'.
90% of all QSO's were CW and 90% of all QSO's were on 40M.
About 700 QSO's total with the K2 in 15 hours (storms and oversleeping!).
Saturday night while the two radios were running a total rate of 200/hour
(networked NA logging program) I had to stop and turn the K2 fan to Hi
because it was very hot - uncomfortable to the touch. We also had to drop
it down to about 80 watts because the keying would become erratic on 40M
even though the K2 and the MFJ-971 showed 1.1:1 SWR.
