Very cool. Never ran QRP, but I have never run over 100 w; for antennas, I have never had anything but a vertical or wire antenna. It is a great feeling bust'n a pile-up when you're a "little pistol."
Just got my K3 a couple of weeks ago after being QRT for about 4 years; the rig is an absolute joy! For an antenna I run an Inverted-L 120 ft long, up 30 ft at each end. Making up for lost time; busted S01WS pile-up yesterday and J28NC this morning. Two new ones for me. 73 de Bruce, N7TY White Plains, MD -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bernie KF0QS Sent: Monday, December 22, 2014 00:00 To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] 9M6XRO with my K2/10 Today, there was a pileup on 9M6XRO (East Malaysia) on 10 meters. Using my K2 at 5 watts (my antenna was a Cushcraft A3S at about 24 ft in elevation) I got through the pileup on about my third call. What a surprise! It's the first time I've broken through a pileup on QRP. What fun!!
