Hmmm ... better than the K2 but not as good as the K3 seems to me to 
be a vry tiny design target :-)

If you like QRP and field operating, try Summits On The Air [SOTA].

[Elecraft] Operating portable

2011-06-04 Thread Joseph Trombino, Jr
Howdy Gang:

We had a beautiful afternoon today here in Southeastern North Carolina...80F 
with a nice breeze. so it was the perfect time to take my K2 out to the 
field and play radio.

My first shot with my wrist rocket went easily over a tree and my PAR 40/20/10m 
EFHW antenna was up in minutes.

The bands were hoppingespecially European stations calling CQ FD...I 
guess this weekend is their Field Day???

Conditions on 15m were strange...my KAT2 tuner loaded the PAR up easily on 15m 
and I worked Ed, WiGUE in N.H. at the same time I was hearing Europeans coming 
in.

I heard many beacons on 10M but no CW stations...a few sideband stations but 
that was it.

I can't wait for the KX3 to come out...with the RX in it supposedly being 
better than the K2 but not as good as the K3 it sound like a sure winner for 
portable ops.
