[Elecraft] KPA-1500 Efficiency As A Function of Input Power

[Wes Stewart]

Sure.  That's why during every QSO I ask my partner, "Can you still hear me?"  
If he says, "Yes", I reduce power and ask again.  Eventually, we determine the 
minimum power necessary.  Then the band changes and we start over.

Kind of slows down pileups and contesting, but rule are rules, right?
