Wayne,

I've made a couple of contacts on 60m with my K2. Just a few minutes 
ago, I worked AB0QN in Missouri (from Ohio). The band has been *very* 
noisy, but the KDSP2 helps quite a bit.

Unfortunately, I don't have a suitable antenna for this band, and have 
been using a 38 foot long linear-loaded vertical doublet hanging from a 
tree branch, and fed with ladder line. This works only slightly better 
than the 20m mono-band Hex Beam   :-)
