Hi Phil,
I had fun last night in the contest. I didn't work for any score but got on
40 meters last night chasing the South Americans who were working split.
This 850 is easy to work split with and I managed to bag several of them.
It was a lot of fun. I know it shouldn't make much difference between 600
watts and 1100 plus watts but it sure seemed to for me from the last time I
got on with my little solid state amp.
Take care and very 73.
Kevin :)

With not all the major bands cooking, I'm surprised at those who hit 5k.
That is amazing.
Phil.
