It's been an interesting FD being that I fired up my IC-756 ProIII and started  responding to several CQ FD calls using 100wts power.  After several more failed calls I decided to turn on the ELE KPA500 amp and try using high power.  Much to my dismay I just could not make contacts so I checked my power output which was reading 4 to 500 wts but then noticed that my CN-801 power meter was only showing 30 - 40 wts output so I am guessing I have a problem with my audio output.  So off goes the amp and I switch to WSJT-X for the duration of my FD operation that was only on Saturday.  Following are my results.
