[Elecraft] KPA500 - just 500 watts?

[Edward R. Cole]

I just read the mail since I am not able to entertain getting a KPA500, etal.

But my experience running my K3/10 on 80m SSB is everyone hears me 
FB.  That is not 100w its 12w!  So when the noise floor is S3 and I 
am S8 (30-dB S/N) and the next guy is S9+10 it gets kinda crazy-funny 
doncha think!  I even check into the Elecraft Sunday 20m net 
occassionally.  Not real loud but once the antennas point up to me I get in.

OK, I will be building a 300w sspa when I clear out the line-up of 
projects ahead of it.  My cost est. is $2/watt not including cost of 28v PS.
I've discussed what it is I am building, before.  I don't really want 
to discuss it on the reflector.  If you go to my website and click 
"About KL7UW" link, I list my future projects at the bottom of the page.
