Comments:

I've always enjoyed the RAC contests, and this running was no exception. I used
the new Elecraft amp for most of this, but fired up the Titan to make some
tough Qs, and left it running for about four hours at the end. If I can believe
the calibration of the built-in wattmeter, I was getting close to 700W most of
the time. That's only 3.5 dB less than full legal power, about half an official
S-unit, but it did make a difference on a few Qs.

The Elecraft amp is quite nice, but it is less tolerant of mismatch than my
trusty Titans (tubes with tuned output stages). Nothing bad happens, but lights
flash and tell you to tweak the antenna tuner. :)
