[Elecraft] KX1 1000 miles per watt

[Sandy W5TVW]

My greatest QRP thrill was quite a few years ago.  Had a Ten-Tec PM3A at
the time.  I managed to work a ZL in New Zealand on 20 meters with a dipole at
15'.  The output was around 3 watts.

Later with a Ten-Tec "Argonaut" (serial #61) I managed to work a whole bunch of
Pacific stuff one night.  Kwajelien Island, Caroline Islands, Hawaii, American Samoa
all on SSB with 3 watts PEP and a Newtronics  "Hustler" mobile antenna on
my old Ford Mustang.  That was quite a thrill!

You'd be surprised wjhat you can work if you are presistant!
73,
