At the other end of the power and frequency spectrum, I worked T32C with my new K2/10 7212 with 10 watts on 10M CW yesterday afternoon. The antenna was an attic mounted 20/40 meter trapped dipole tuned with the K2's Internal ATU. I second the comment, thank you Elecraft for making fun to build

It is good that you chaps in the USA are having a whale of a time working T32C (and it is just a stone's throw from VK land...). But it is a different kettle of fish from northern Europe where the path passes straight through the auroral circle (both short and long path). I have been trying
