[Elecraft] K2 in CQ 60m Contest

[Augie Hansen]

Fellow Elecrafters,

K2 #3302 is doing well so far in the CQ 160m contest. I've worked 62 QSOs,
30 states, and Mexico at 5 watts to a coil-loaded 1/4-wave sloper (not a
particularly good radiator) in about 6 hours of active contest time. This is
the first time I've tried QRP ops on 160m and I'm pleased with the rig's
performance. 

The VOX works great, too -- it responds well to normal voice frequencies
without false triggering on incidental high pitched sounds like a dropped
pen or shuffled papers. (I wish my Yaesu and Icom radios did as well in this
regard.)

Hope to hear some of you on the band tonight.
