Perhaps I was getting lost or misinterpreting this information from Tom,
W8JI:
http://www.w8ji.com/loading_amplifier.htm
When I read this I conclude that my exciter (TS-870S) should be run to full
100w output to the amp to avoid "ALC overshoot" and tuning/loading problems.
Based on the responses so far, I can either 1) reduce my exciter drive
level, or 2) run the full 100w output but swamp the amp input down to the
needed input drive level.
