I see I have worked you 14 times over the years on various bands over the years Gerry with my K2 at 5W and wire antennas. I do recall hearing you briefly yesterday morning on 160m and called you, but working that sort of distance in a Top Band contest with 5W into a 32ft vertical over lousy ground is perhaps a little too optimistic... But 34 DXCC including VY2ZM is not too bad a result. 229 countries from 28,000 QSOs on my K2 without sending /QRP once shows that you don't need that 1500W to work the DX.... 73 Dave G3YMC http://www.davesergeant.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
