[Elecraft] Elecraft Qso Party

[Deinhardt, Toby]

Hallo!

After reading the rules for the Elecraft Qso Party,
which I hope to partake in, I've got a couple comments.

1) I think a 'call' for the party would make sense and
would suggest "cq eqp" for CW and "CQ Elecraft Party" for SSB.

2) As the owner of the QRP version of the K2, would using
an external PA put me in category 1 or 2? It might be
an Idea to differentiate between purely Elecraft stations
(including Tuners and PAs, excluding stuff like antennas and
power supplies), stations using an Elecraft transciever plus
3rd party tuners, PAs etc. and stations using no Elecraft
equipment. Pure Elecraft stations could also mean bonus
points.

3) > K2 Field Testers Add "FT" to your Elecraft Rig Type
What about K1 FTs? (Ok, ok, it's nit picking .....)
 
4) > 25 points for battery power
Any limits to the size or type of battery? 25 Points once
or for each QSO (I would assume once)?

Lastly, because I can't put up my own antenna and a field day
early March would likely be very cold and moist in DL, I hope 
to use our local club station. We have a couple of other K1/K2
owners and other OMs interested in the K2, so we might end
up doing multi-op. This could be considered "unfair" to the
single op stations, or am I worrying about a non-entity?
