[Elecraft] OT: For New Hams, How to Tell What an Amp Will Do For Your Signal

[Bill Clarke]

I have been preaching the rule of power and decibels gain for years - 
this is a real-life example.

I personally use my amp (single 3-500) very little these days - which is 
why I have not bought the new Elecraft amp.

100 Watts fills the bill for me 99% of the time. As I do not contest or 
DX, that remaining 1% is of little importance.

Of course, some will argue the point - which is fine. We each have our 
own personal methods of operating.
