? We ain't supposed to talk about that, because then people would
realize that there are big boys who run somewhat more than 1400w during
contests and DX pileups. When I was running the 20db
tetrode-with-handles amplifier, people used to ask me why their S-meter
went up 10db more than when I switched to my SB-220. When I answered the
question, some dudes became real-foamy angry.
-- Never use more power than needed to communicate . . . on top of a
jammer dog-pile.
Due to its high DC anode potential, a 3K-A can deliver 2k PEP.
