Hi George -
Adjust the ALC control down all the way to the left, then adjust your
drive control till the ALC light just barely flickers, that will be the
[stable] lowest power you can run CW (check with QRP wattmeter to see
what you get, I don't recall). You can, of course, reduce the drive
further to lower the power more. I recall the power would drift a bit
with time if I could not light the ALC LED, but that was the price of
lowering the power down so low :-)
