[Elecraft] new to qrp too

I started QRP a couple years ago with the NAQCC Sprints and my 756PRO at 5 w. This year I bought a used K2/100 and use it all the time. I check into my CW nets at 25w or less so not to interfere with the TV (my Uverse box sits next to the rig). and for my morning SSB traaffic net I bump it

Re: [Elecraft] New to QRP

Since becoming licensed in 1967 I have always had better than average antennas with ample power. Since I have become older (now 80) my wife and I have downsized and I now longer have a location suitable for a large antenna system and have had to resort to a vertical. At first I thought that was a
