[Elecraft] KPA500 - just 500 watts?

[Julian, G4ILO]

It's a myth that QRP stations are always weak. Sometimes, of course, they
are. But 5W is only two S-points less than the 100W most people use.
Antennas can make more difference than that, and no-one talks about those
when having these silly "life is too short for QRP" arguments.
