[Elecraft] Elecraft K2/100 at TZ5A

I also copied TZ5A in KY with very strong signals and very 
consistent...perhaps an honest 559 or better.  It seemed that the EU 
stations had the stronger signals. I didn't give much of an effort to 
work you, but called several times. I usually don't have trouble 
breaking pileups. I have a full size, elevated quarterwave groundplane 
on 160. This time, however, I didn't get through, probably due to lack 
of effort on my part. I wasn't working the contest and didn't really care.

73,

Dave, K4TO
