[Elecraft] I used to hate contests!

Over the weekend, with intemittent operation, I worked 106
stations on 160M with K2 2636 at 5 watts to a folded
inverted L.   I just finished the K2 a few weeks ago and got
it debugged with some help here.  Tom Hammond told me
recently to not start modding anything until I had some fun
with the radio.  Well, I sure had fun!  I could work about
80% of the stations I could hear; maybe 80% of those asked
for repeats.  Only twice can I recall the other op giving up
on hearing me.  Some stations can definitely hear better
than others.  Best distance from here in OH was AZ.  Off
topic, I'd like to hear from anyone who logs with a computer
while sending and receiving with the basic radio (no
computer involved).  Not sure I see the utility of that yet,
and I'm not inclined to use a keyboard for sending.  I'm
getting the fever, which would never have happened QRO!
