I have never understood so many K2ers want to run high power. Since
completing K2 sn 537, never running more than 5 watts to a tribander at
45 feet or a open wire dipole, my QRP DXCC RTTY count has gone up to
225. And in all CQ WW CW DX contests since the K2 has been up and
running I have worked DXCC each time... 5 watts. Recently, K1B and the
3XY8 stations were worked as RTTY qrp #s 224 and 225, the 3X on the
third call. In the '01 ARRL RTTY Roundup, K2YG won the NNJ section
running 5 watts (there is no QRP category).
Pardon the horn-blowing.
Save electricity. Avoid RFI. Work hard. Run QRP. Feel good!
