I'd keep the carrier coming out of 6 pill at around 200-250 if you want longevity.

I was thinking 150w DK but Crusher knows best. Is your amp biased for SSB?

By the book, 25 dead key or carrier out of each pill. But no one listens or goes that route. I ran 300w carrier 1200 pep for years and no issues. Yes I had a bigger driver than what he was using. But I ran short keys and double airflow most use. Lol.

Got to love good fans. I picked up a 120mm for cheap at a local electronics store last week. Their shelf said "danger do not use without grill, it will cut you. Extremely loud". Good buy at $5.
