[Elecraft] Bad start to FD - smoked a K3!!!!

[Wes Stewart]

Funny, the rules say:

7.2.4. If any or all contacts are made using an output power greater than 150 Watts, the power multiplier is 1 (one).

That suggests that 1KW is perfectly legal.  Think of it as a transmission line loss compensator.

A KW on Field Day? What's this world coming to? FD is a low power event. High 
power is like a you know what in the punchbowl.
