ArtYou can still do pretty decent in a domestic contest without an amplifier.
DX contests can be a big struggle. My KPA500 failed and I had to do the SSB
Sprint with just 100 watts. I have just had wires and lost many jump balls
which was frustrating but in the end I think I did fairly well. I'm #4 in the
low power high claimed scores.Since Elecraft will be closed down for awhile to
repair my amp I decided now was a good time to buy another one so I would have
a spare in the future. Hopefully I will get it this week in time for the
Georgia QSO Party next weekend.JeffSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy
