Interesting comments on how the K2 compared with other rigs in CQWW 
CW. I did not have to opportunity to do a comparison (and one with my 
FT101ZD would be pretty pointless), however the thing which struck me 
was that the K2 just did its job without even having to think about 
it. It was not till after the contest that I realised how well it had 
worked - it was just like any other day, only with rather more 
stations on the band.

What gave me a bit of a thrill was Sunday evening when all that was 
left on 20m were USA stations virtually on the noise level. I worked 
a long string of them, almost all of them coming back to my first 
call. QRP is great stuff!

I was rather more worried that my old Toshiba laptop would give up 
the ghost - but the K2, it just worked.
