Hi all:

I got my amp installed, going to put the Braille around the plate and load
controls tm.
When I fired it up into a DL on 80m earlier tm I got 600w key down CW with
40w of drive and over 800w on SSB.
Should I be concerned? With 60w of drive, I was seeing, well hearing lol,
over 900w. I didn't switch to the antenna because my SWR spike prob has
returned and we have traced it down to either leaky coax or a n ice/snow
build up on the antenna when it's folded down.

TNX and 73:
