[Elecraft] FB FD TNX 2 K2

[bill linn]

Bob and Group:

Me too!  Nr 4001 had a great casual FD in the wilds of North Idaho.    Put
up a 40 meter loop.   It performed pretty darn good but must have been tied
directly to 6-Land.  :)   (I guess that the K2 knew where its roots were!)

My grandson, Justin, (age 14) has helped me with field day for the last
three years and usually spends time beside me logging and keeping track of
the Dupe Sheet.   This year he wanted to try his hand at the mic.   We
turned to 20 meters, tapped the tune button, and instantly were on the air.
He worked a  whole bunch of stations, including three stations in Hawaii and
two in Alaska.   (At ten watts, of course.)

Together, (5 watt CW and 10 watt SSB) we made just over 100 contacts with
the K2 and 40 meter full wave loop.

Three cheers for the group and Elecraft!
