[Elecraft] KPA500 - just 500 watts?

[Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF]

Hi Bill,
I too would love to run at 100MW but the electricity bill would be a real killer! :-)
On the other hand, 100mW may be a better proposition though and alot of fun can be had at that power level too.
(I run my K3/100 barefoot, have a look at the grossly inflated prices various Australian suppliers charge for gear here and you'll know why most Aussies dont run more than 100W.)

  I love QRP but run THP 2.5kfx generally in the evening on 75m as I cannot be
  heard well without the 1.5KW out.  I don't like the life's too short for QRP
  statement as I have had some of my best contacts at less than 2W.  I usually
  run 2W or less.  I love 100 MW!
