Comments;  The K2's were great, but at some point during the contest my =
K2 went out of PLL linearity resulting in strange steps occuring several =
places in the band and sometimes throwing the transmitted frequency a =
hundred hertz off, still don't know why.  fifteen was sad, even 20 came =
in and out and when out QRP wasn't very effective.  The full wave 80 m =
horizontal loop you guys recommended worked well enough to get a few =
east coast stations even QRP, very pleased with it.
