I only worked a couple of hours of the contest but had a great time. It was
the first contest for my K2.  Logged 34 contacts, 26 multipliers including
VK, ran 5 watts and the antenna is an R5 vertical on the ladder of my
motorhome.
I've worked field day from Alaska, scored well in the 10m contest when I had
a house, an amp and a quad at 55 feet, but having dx station come back to me
on the first call running 5 watts to a vertical is more fun than any of the
other op events I have experienced. I had forgotten how much fun qrp can be.
The last serious contest I worked qrp was with an Argonaut many, many years
ago.
Great job Elecraft.
BTW, built the tuner for the K2 yesterday. Nice addition.
