[Elecraft] FSK power

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Ray,

Actual on the air results lead me to completely disagree with your
statement. With my old rig I ran at half power on RTTY. During contests if I
could not get a response from the other station by the second call I would
just twist the power knob to full and 90% of the time I would get the
contact. The benefit of that one single S unit was repeatedly proven to be
all that I needed.

73,
Mike K2MK
