Oh boy. Another example of extrapolating from inadequate data :-
)
Sorry, Jack, I'm not likely to "upgrade" as I'm having too much
fun stealing the bacon from QRO stations in contests. Gotta have
some compensation from being run over by ??kW trucks.
I was just pointing out that it would be more cost effective to do
the two units bit, and keep the existing K2 as a QRP only box.
Gotta feeling it may be a while before I hear the end of this :-)
I'll be trying the NS practice run tonight before I box up the
station for FD. Hope to see you there.

Whoa! We have a scoop here! Mr QRP-ONLY himself, N6WG, actually
stating that he would even consider a rig that can push more than 15
watts is a major news item!
Go for it, Bob. After all you have done with 5 watts, it would be a
very interesting experiment to see if you could do any better with a
few more watts. With your proven capabilities and antenna system, I
have a feeling that 100 watts would give about the same results as
the 5 you have been running for years!
Still, actually stating that you would "opt" for more power is
cataclysmic. The "big one" must be about to his San Andreas!!!
