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.
