For the few hours that I was on throughout the weekend, I managed 10 CW and 2 SSB QSOs (and Scott was one of my CW QSOs) in MA, NH and RI, all within about 50 miles of my QTH . But in the 2 years that I've had my K2/100, these are my first QSOs on 10m, so I'm quite satisfied.

QRP is always tough but it looks like this is going to be a "worked all MA" effort. {grin} So, I'm not sure you're having worse luck than the rest of us. The good news is that I had done a little work on my K2 (QRP version--no 100w option) and wanted to know if it was behaving well. My friend in NH just over the border) worked me and said the radio "sounded like music". I know that's music to my ears! Conditions aren't the greatest. I've put about 20 in the log with MA, NH, and ME as mults. I've got just a dipole hidden in some adjacent woods. Perhaps those with aluminum farms are having better luck? I must say, as I sit here I'm thinking of building another K2. This really is a sweet little radio! -- Scott (NE1RD) Craig D. Smith wrote: > > Anybody else having a go at the 10 meter contest?
