[Elecraft] odd question, and an FD rave

[Steve Jackson]

Question:  Whatever happened to Nils?  El Gringo Errante?

Rave:  My K2 rocks!  This rig was MADE for Field Day!  What a blast, and SO
much fun.  Hard to figure how those few cubic inches can produce such
continuous gratification, from the minute the mailman showed up with the
kit, to every time I turn the power on.

This FD: fairly casual 5W CW operation, 18.5 hrs. in the log, S&P only, 40M
double bazooka up 55 ft.:  180 Qs, 10x multiplier, at a 6A battery QRP site.
(Sadly, I was the only CW op, and ran solo for the whole time.)  Outboard:
Maine-built Vibroplex Iambic Standard, grey base, Yuasa 7A-H gel cell.

Oh, wait:  the last 15 Qs were made with my K1 !!  (It felt lonely sitting
on the Dakota's front seat, so I got the little rig out for the last hour or
so.)
