[Elecraft] just 500W ?

[Julian, G4ILO]

500W is more than many of us in other parts of the world are allowed to use.
Life is not too short for QRP and it certainly isn't too short for 100W,
never mind 500. If that wasn't the case we'd have all given up long ago.

Power is like an arms race, people get sucked in to believing they need more
than the other guy. The end result is a lot of money spent for no real gain
save to satisfy one's ego. Good news for amp manufacturers and that's about
all.

"QRP: It's not how much you've got, it's what you do with it." Anyone is
welcome to put that on a T shirt.
