[Elecraft] KPA-1500 on 160

[Bill Johnson]

Pete, I ran 1.5kw on 160 with an EFHW and did not have any issues.  I ran feedline underground and had great results.  I would suspect some rf feedback. Which can cause anomalies.

The fault table should show what threshold is being exceeded. Recent 160 meter soft fault detail would be of interest.
