Minimum clearance on KPA-100 heatsink?

Tom Althoff
If I stack two K2/100's on top of each other using only the rubber feet for clearance would the lower K2 be at risk of overheating under contest level activity?

Tom,

Personally, I would not stack them - you can try it of course and monitor
the temperature of the lower one carefully.  Send us a report if you try it.
