[Elecraft] K2 QRP - KPA100/KAT100 in EC2

[Russell Boutell]

Hello K2'ers,

After reading many posts here, I'm convinced to go the double rig route. I 
ordered the K2 today with all the QRP options. Yeah!! And my birthday is Aug 
30 too, so I'll act surprised when I open it. Once I'm up and running (and 
spend some serious time working 10W from Hawaii) I can order all the 100W 
goodies. I'd be interested from anyone that would like to share their 
experiences with operating the KPA100, such as "I couldn't quite hit that 
Europe station with 10W, but the extra punch of the 100W nailed it"

So, the KPA100/KAT100/EC2 can stay home, and I can grab the battery powered 
K2, a long wire antenna and maybe a solar cell (anyone tried this yet?) and 
head for the backcountry. Sounds like a fun field day!

73, AH6RO   Russ
