[Elecraft] [K3] Hi cur on 6 meter

[Enno, PF5X]

Hi Max,

It seems that the KPA3 is not as efficient on 6m as on the other bands. My
K3 draws 21.5A at 6m/100W. 
A friend of mine who owns a K3 complained about this phenomenon as well (25%
more current on 6 than on other bands).

Maybe the design team can explain this behavior ...
