[Elecraft] SS experience

[Milt Jensen, N5IA]

Arrived home shortly after 0000 hours Z this evening.  Wanted to do a little
SS so I put the K-2 on 40 Meters.  Somewhat crazy to try 5 Watts amongst the
KWs and the BC carriers but I wanted to see what the little radio would do.

In five hours of casual S & P I worked the obligatory 100 Qs.  Section total
was 43 with a score of 8,600. Best DX was WP2Z with one call.  Worked NH,
VT, RI, EMA, WMA, and DE.  Not bad from Soutwest NM.  About 70% of the
contacts were single exchange with no repeats.

I did not work another Q power station.  I only heard one and he was working
the RI station.

BTW, the antenna does help.  2 element Cushcraft at 100'.
