I have thought about this myself (being a contest kind of guy).

I think there are probably enough QRP type events that people with
the K1 and K2 radios can join.

Perhaps having an activity night once a month or something might
be the ticket.  We could meet in a 10 kHz window and exchange 
RST/QTH/NAME and K1/K2 serial numbers.

Don't think Elecraft needs to be involved in arranging it.
They need to spend their time and energy designing radios.

Perhaps one or two people on this list would be up to coming
up with parameters and announcing it to the list.  

And don't forget the CW Sprint opportunity in 9 days!
