We used my K2/100 for the run station in CQ WW CW from Labrador .... 
Lots of 140+ hours - the heatsink got hot, the eggs (we did omelets!!) 
had a nice pattern in them from the heatsink fins! 

Actually the heat sink got hot .... not burning hot.  Sunday I did turn 
the fan on high, but I don't think it was really necessary.

The hams in Labrador City were impressed with the K2 and the fact that 
we would bring one for the run station!

73    and Happy Holidays!
