Your amplifier has an auto SSB delay. A SSB delay is needed because in SSB mode there is no carrier to hold the relay open. The clicking sound is your relay not holding. You can try to talk faster, or not pausing in between words so much. As stated, in SSB mode you can run the power up, you won't hurt the amp with a 949.

If you are serious about your SSB talking you will want a class AB amplifier with a switched delay for best performance. Most (not all) Palomars are rough on SSB because they are class C and the delay sucks.
