[RTTY] greater than 600 watts for RTTY?

[Mark n2qt]

I've melted Mosley CL33 and arced Hygain TH3 traps running about 1200 watts with 
a Denton Clipperton L amp (4 x572Bs). Switched to a KT34 and a Steppir and haven't 
hurt them.  Also the amp is now an 87A.  

High power rtty does stress everything. I've melted so239 when the center pin wasn't a
good fit plus the usual litany of switches and lighting protectors.  You really don't ever
want to hot switch something. 

I only contest low power and don't need much on rtty dxcc so the amp stays off most of
the time.
