Comments:
Elecraft K3/100 + KPA500 @500W
Inverted-L 50' vertical over incomplete radial field
===
Something in the antenna system (which is switched by a DC voltage sent down the
coax) was getting hot and kicking the SWR up high enough to fold back the amp
and radio so I would occasionally go from 500 watts to < 50 watts in seconds.
This was especially acute when running.
Thanks for the QSOs and 73,
--Ethan, K8GU.
