I have a fairly early (and QRP) K2 (S/N 1757), and have been trying for the
Elecraft WAS award ever since I completed it. I have needed 11 states for
the last two years, and have been unable to add a single one even though I
have really tried.
Yesterday, I remembered the SS fairly late in the afternoon (about 1600
EST), and thought that might be an excellent way to add a state or two.
Even with a long dinner break, I was able to pick up 7 of those 11 stations
before the SS ended! All QRP, and all SSB. All on a 90 foot wire out of an
upstairs bathroom window to a pine tree using an SGC-230 autotuner (a really
old one).
Now I am looking for Delaware, Hawaii, Montana, and Wyoming! Hawaii is
going to be the hard one from here in South Carolina. I hope I don't have to
wait on the sunspot cycle for that one!

Another SS over till next year.
But this one was fun... 73 mults/296q's/20+ hrs.
Worked 6 other Q stations ( including another K2 - N9NE ).
Nice to see I'm not the only QRP masochist!
