[Elecraft] question for psk users

[Gerald Manthey]

I find that once I set the my ALC right, 25 watts gave me plenty of power.
I worked Ukraine, Spain, France last night.. saw a station in Israel but he
faded to fast. It was awesome! Thanks for all the help getting my setup
right.
Hope to chat with you all on PSK.
Thanks Gerald - KC6CNN
