<div dir="ltr">i had the 250w slug not the 500w slug in so in actuality getting about 600w out again, though it is topping out a bit lower with the makeshift traces. I have the matching coil to the other side on order and will swap it in and see if things improve in a few days, but since it is on the bench anyway I'll probably play with it a bit more.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Dec 12, 2023 at 2:47 PM David McKenzie <<a href="mailto:k1fsy@vhfwiki.com">k1fsy@vhfwiki.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Back in business, and I found the 300 watts I was missing.
