[Elecraft] 160m QRP WAS

[Bob Tellefsen]

Here's one that should make Wayne and Eric smile.

This morning I worked W1YRC in RI to finish my 160m QRP WAS.
Happy dance is now in progress.

I've been working on my 160m QRP WAS for just over 4 years.   I  built
and installed the 160m option in my Field Test K2 (s/n 12) just before the
December ARRL 160m cw contest in 1999.  That was my first
experience of topband.  Now I'm hooked.

I've been working all the 160m cw contests, and others that include
160m.  It takes time but it's been a fun chase.  Working from the edge of
San Francisco Bay is a challenge.  My signal had to go a long way to find
another population center.  I really envy stations back east with so many
more stations within range.

Hope to see many of you on 160m during the downturn in the solar cycle.
