[Elecraft] 160M MOJO

Sun Jan 25 12:11:01 2004

Bruce, I worked 7 stations this morning about 2 AM CST in under 15 minutes
on 160 using the K2 at 10 watts and my 40 meter EDZ! Felt like a real
contester, but just playing around! First 160 activity for me ever in over
57 years of hamming! The K2 was great in handling the very strong signals
throughout the band.

73, George W5YR
