[Amps] Alpha 78

I am using an alpha 78 with a pair of 3cx800A's  instead of the hard to get and afford  8874's.  I get about 1200w output on cw.  Not bad since the power supply only provides 2000V  and I am only able to drive it with 100w..   My question is   when I operate RTTY is it still safe to run the alpha at max output or should I cut back on the drive...This is especially important if I plan to operate a RTTY contest.


Thanks,,,,


Carol
