Comments:

Elecraft K3/100 + KPA500 @500W
Inverted-L 50' vertical over incomplete radial field

===

Something in the antenna system (which is switched by a DC voltage sent down the
coax) was getting hot and kicking the SWR up high enough to fold back the amp
and radio so I would occasionally go from 500 watts to < 50 watts in seconds.
 This was especially acute when running.

Thanks for the QSOs and 73,

--Ethan, K8GU.
