I just worked V73NS, Marshall Islands, on 15 meters using my K2 running 4.7 Watts to a OCF dipole. My QTH is in ENY, near Poughkeepsie, NY. There were quite a few stations on the frequency, but the K2 got through. This makes CW QRP country number 160 with my K2 since I first joined the Elecraft family one year and 3 months ago. My best DX was Hawaii running 100 mW to the OCF dipole for 50,000 miles per Watt. My country number 159 was Swains Island on 12 meters. A good friend who owns a KX1, K1, K2, K3 and KX3 got me interested in Elecraft. Since I built my K2, I built a K1 and another K2 for my wife W1ALI. I also own a KX3 which is a great rig, but I still like to operate the K2. I might add that I don't own a mike and work only CW. So don't count out the K2.
Thank you Elecraft for great products. 73 Tony Castellano W1ZMB [email protected] Hopewell Junction, NY RV-6 N401TC ______________________________________________________________ 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
