[Elecraft] 100 Watts or 500 Watts

[Chuck Smallhouse]

As a recent K3/P3 kit assemblier(4910) and an old timer (licenced in 
'47). I'm still trying to understand all the nuiances of the K3 
operation.  Thank you, the Elecraft Reflector, for all the good ideas and help.

But as I understand it, the quote of the HF DX'rs is " Life is too 
short for QRP", 500 Watts.

So my New Years and B'Day (79) present next month will be a 2nd hand 
but good working AL 1500.   I really like 8877s.  I worked WAS, WAC, 
VUCC, and 95 DXCCs on 2M with one, using CW.

So maybe I'll try a bit of HF for a change with my K3/100.

BTW, it should also make and excelent EME transceiver, especially 
with the purposed extenal 10MHz driven REF Lock module.

GL es 73,
