[Elecraft] Re: KX1 1000 miles per watt

[B. Scott Andersen]

Worked I2MMR from my home in Acton, MA and it came out to be
1680 miles per watt. I've got the award. It is hanging on the
wall.

The thing is, I almost think the award should have gone to the
OM on the other end. He was the poor fellow who had to pick out
my 2.3W signal and make sense of it. My part was easy!

As posted about a week ago, a capacitor had gone bad in my
KX1 and it began acting pretty flaky. I've never had a cap
go bad in a radio before. Very strange.

I will tell you, though, that I was broken hearted when it
went on the fritz. That little KX1 has quickly become my
favorite toy. I'm hoping to do many more of those 1000-mpw
QSOs while I do DXCC QRP.

Congratulations again on your QSO. By all means get the
wall paper! 73!
