[Elecraft] KPA-500 vs others

[Al Gulseth]

In that regard, a lot of folks seem to forget about a little item in Part 97 
of the FCC rules:

Sec. 97.313(a) An amateur station must use the minimum transmitter power 
necessary to carry out the desired communications. 

But then again, when I was a kid I remember my dad scratching his head in 
amusement over a couple of local fellow hams running their Collins kilowatts 
on AM... to talk across our small town. Guess things haven't changed much....

73, Al
