W2GD/N4HY had a very good field day.
Our Elecraft 2A battery QRP was SIXTH OVERALL.
We used IC-703 for the GOTA. That will be another K2 if we do this again.
I took the IC-703 back the day after FD. (Gag me with a spoon). It started
dropping power to zero after an hour of operation. Horrible image
rejection,
just a terrible receiver and very poor quality control.
Those 16000+ points prove that QRP is no serious impediment to a serious
score at FD. I can't even begin to tell you how many points we left on
the table from various screw ups.
The K2 is an awesome QRP FD radio.
