[Elecraft] KAT-500 problem

[Victor Rosenthal 4X6GP]

Great story!
I worked a station in the USA last night on 40m with 5w. I had just 
adjusted my antenna tuner (yes, I know, but it is impossible to find a 
totally clear spot during CQWW), and I forgot to restore normal power 
and turn on my amp. I wonder if he noticed the difference when I came 
back with my exchange at 1300w.
