[Elecraft] K2 on Irish national TV!

[Brendan Minish]

A few weeks ago the Irish national TV company (RTE) did a 6 minute piece on 
Ham radio. This was broadcast just after the main evening news as part of a 
magazine style program called nationwide. This piece has created quite a 
bit of new interest in the hobby in Ireland

The piece opens with some shots of my tower and an interview with Declan 
Craig EI6FR which was filmed at my QTH. Declan is also shown conducting a 
CW QSO on my K2

Another scene is a shot of our club setting up a field day station using my 
k2 and shows myself conducting a QSO with a German Station in SSB

The k2 gets quite a bit of coverage!

the link below should bring up the piece in real video format for those of 
you that have the real player installed. The actual Clip is on RTE's server 
so it's not possible for me to change the format
