[Elecraft] K2/100 #3311 in ARRL DX CW Test

[J F]

Vic,
He had decent antennas in a decent location I'll bet!

I wondered that as well. I wonder how many Elecraft's
participated and at what power level?

There were a few sweeps from 160 to 10, and more on 80
thru 10 here.

If I didn't make too many logging errors, I will have
done quite well on 80M. I know there were a few
intentional dupes on my part, as the other guy didn't
get my call, either added or subtracted a "dit". I did
the same to some calls I'm sure. 700 QSOs including
the dupes, around 680 (I don't have the sheet here
now.) good QSOs.

The only thing I found irritating at times was the fan
on the KPA100. I'm thinking of splitting it off or
looking for something quieter (if such a thing is
available in that size). Maybe a vented set of side
panels would do the trick as well. I definitely am
still looking for the "right" set of headphones as
well! hihi!
73,
Julius
