[Elecraft] KPA1500 design

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Congratulations Andy! 

I'm mindful that data does not change beliefs, the difference is power
between a KPA500 and the legal limit is slightly over 1/2 of one S unit. 

But for those who want to have the biggest signal, it does take the legal
limit **and** a big antenna.

Let's see...

That would only be $8,000, along with the attendant problems with power
dividers and combiners and keeping the two modules balanced and in phase
with each other, not only to mention keeping everything cool. 

I ran a full K Line in the CW contest this past weekend and worked everyone
I could here, most times on the first call.

500 Watts seems to work just fine for my needs. 

My antenna is a 3 element Cubex cubical quad at 40 ft, which helps.
