[Amps] al-1200 question

[Steve Litwins]

Hi all;
Has anybody ever tried to tune an al-1200 or an lk-500z on 30 meters, 10
Mhz?  Easy guys...this is a legit question.  I know abt the 200 w pwr limit
etc.  I use an MP.  100 watts on 30m leaves me in the pile sometimes for
hours.  It occurred to me that if I cld drive one of my amps on 30 meters, I
cld maybe get 200 watts and that 3db might shorten the length of time spent
in 30 meter piles.  I have a very good antenna for 30 meters, several in
fact, so other than investing in a routable array for 30m, I probably will
not get too mny dbs extra from the antenna farm.
There may be other suggestions here as well...so fire away guys, pse let me
know what u think on this...73/dx
