[Elecraft] At last!

[bejones@hursley.ibm.com]

It's been a good week or so for DX culminating with cracking the 
pile-up on H7DX last night. At long last, my 10W SSB DXCC count 
has hit the 150 mark.

All contacts on K2#1115, most into a 132' windom at 25' but that 
broke in the winds and has recently been replaced with 102' 
doublet at about 32' (using a RadioWorks remote balun to allow a 
short coax feed into the shack for the KAT2 to tune on all bands). 
A few contacts may also have been on the Cushcraft R7 vert 
mounted 5' above the ground (the R7 is typically 1 S point down on 
the wire but can be +1 to -3 S points depending on direction and 
skip)

Next target 168 DXCC (then I can say my K2 has worked half the 
world - I think current DXCC country count is 335)

Wayne/Eric et al thanks for such a great rig design. 

BTW H7DX was still on 14.195 (split, up) when I left for work this 
am.
