OK...

Got my flame suit on....

Why just 500 watts with te KPA-500?  Is that a majic number?  I am just asking.  
It seems that 500 watts would be OK if you are on a DXpedition...but if you are
in the "fray" of a contest in the USofA....the more watts the better.  


Don't get me wrong...I love the idea of the KPA500 and the KAT500.  But what is
majic about 500 watts when many amps will run much more than that and are a lot
less money?  Cost vs ????

Please don't kill me....just...wondering what the big deal is!

 In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't
have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any
Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common
Sense divine?

Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind.
