Welcome back to HF! If you reach me off the list I am happy to arrange a sked when you are ready. Might be tough QRP to QRP but always worth a try. I think you will be very pleased with the KX2, mine has mostly made digital contacts up until this point but I have been very pleased with it. Hope to hear you on the air!
