[Elecraft] KPA-500 in Contest Conditions

[Mark Stennett]

We used several KPA-500 amplifiers on the Swains Island NH8S DXpedition and 
they performed flawlessly under  24/7 use for 9 days straight in hot and 
humid tent conditions.

Hows the KPA-500 holding up under contest conditions for SSB and CW?

I've read the reviews on eham but there was only one that referenced
performance in contest conditions (and it was favorable).

I'm curious if the temp stays down and if power is lost as it heats up?

Thanks
