[Elecraft] CQ160m contest

[Brendan Minish]

HI Dave and others,

	I also had a go at the CQWW160m Contest, I managed about 10 hours on but 
did not wait up until the AM grey line either morning .
I was in the High power assisted category (400W with DXcluster assistance). 
I started off using my Icom 756pro2 after a couple of hours I switched over 
to my elecraft K2/100 and found that it outperformed the PRO2 on receive so 
I stayed on the K2 for the rest of the contest.

I used Writelog and the K2 works fine on the kenwood setting

I was using a 1/4 wave inverted L with a 60 foot vertical section and an 
acom 1000 Amp

I made 418 unique contacts with 12 sections and 49 DXCC total claimed score 
136,579

Dave you were my 413th contact (not counting dupes ) and I was on the K2 
(ser 1642 )

My only 'complaint' was that with the K2 I could hear lots of stations that 
could not hear my 400W  this wasn't as big a problem on the pro2!
The K2 is a great contest rig.

this was my first CW contest but won't be my last!
