[Elecraft] QRP / QRO

Just a couple of thoughts that came to me while (whilst?) reading the recent
discussion on qrp and qro.

* The K2 can be configured just as you want: qrp, qro, or "both" with the
KPA/KAT100 in an EC2 or switching lids, which caters for everyone's taste (I
think).

* As for qrp operation, I wonder why the emphasis is on the 5 Watt output,
and
no description or limit on the antenna.
Putting 5 W into a stack of 6-element single band Yagi antennas at optimum
height would be hard to beat by my 100 Watts into a rather low inverted-V.

I know you've got to draw the line somewhere, but still...
