I was out hiking with my son yesterday at Las Trampas Wilderness (about 25 miles east of San Francisco). We took a break at the highest point to taken in a 360 degree view of the Bay Area.
After lunch, I pulled out the KX2, attached a 4' whip, and immediately found Bill, W6H (AKA W8TE) calling CQ on 20 m SSB from New Mexico. I tried a couple of calls using the KX2's built-in mic, but wasn't quite getting his attention through the QRM. So I attached the KXPD2 keyer paddle and called in CW mode. Bill came back to me right away. First K4 to KX2 cross-mode QSO? (Not quite a "200 Meters and Down" achievement, but gratifying just the same.)
