[Elecraft] My photos of the KPA1500 from Visalia, and a Y-BOX update

[Fred Jensen]

Although recently transplanted to NV, and really happy, I am a 
California Native, I did my childhood and teenager duties there, I 
graduated Cal Poly in Math there, and, after some travel thanks to the 
US Military, spent the last 40+ years in NorCal. I got my first ham 
ticket there in 1953, and I take great umbrage at the term "California 
Kilowatt."

I knew a couple of those guys, I saw their stations, one even let me 
operate when I was maybe 15, and it was nowhere close to 1,000 watts.  
Only exceeded when I got to work a little coastal marine at 5 KW.

Some terms just understate what the former generation could bring off 
... illegally. [:-)
