[Elecraft] KPA100 100% Duty Cycle - Operating Temperature

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Digital modes lend themselves to lower power contacts successfully.  It gets messy for all when a station jumps in with excessive power.  I'm seeing more and more stations with poor to very poor quality signals.  It takes very little effort to be loud, but requires more effort and skill to be good. 

Bob, K4TAX
