[Elecraft] KPA 500 Power Amp.

Different goals.  Mine is DXing, currently stalled out at 323 entities 
(most of the rest are inactive/unlikely).  Many of which would not have 
been remotely possible without some added power out.  [Bouvet was worked 
limited to 500 watts (except 30M), my large amp was out for repair; the 
pileups were intense; QRP would not have been enough.]

We each have our own definition of fun; I'm glad you found yours.

HNY,
