[Elecraft] We Need More Power

[Jim Campbell]

I have a K2/100 and an 88 ft low antenna fed with ladder-line. I run 
FT-8 at 12 watts. I use 40, 30 and occasionally 20M. While I haven't 
been on in a few months, earlier this year I was regularly working into 
NA, SA, Europe and occasionally Africa.
