[Elecraft] New KX1 Distance Record Claimed

[SteveG]

Congrates Dave!

Reminds me when I QSOed a F6 on 20m. I was using my newly built homebrew
from 'scratch' SST running 300Mw into a mini G5RV draped off a 25' pine tree
while on day hike. He was running a 2-KW Yaecomwood into a 5-element yagi @
120' ...I think we were both equally proud of rigs! BUT I knew the guy that
built mine ...ME!  =8~)
