[Elecraft] KPA-500 fan noise

[Fred Jensen]

Our "Beverage Central" is located in my shack.  I was contemplating 
putting a heat exchanger on the KAP500 PA's and routing cold water from 
the drink fridge through it.  I guess that would class as 
"re-engineering?"  Haven't figured out how to get the plumbing out of 
the fridge, however.
