[Elecraft] K2 in ARRL CW DX contest

[Bob Nielsen]

I only was able to put in a little over 3 hours, SOSB 40 QRP, and spent
much more of that time calling through the QRM than actually making
contacts.  No AF Q's at all and only 3 each SA and EU (UA, I and CU2). 
At least it was a good excuse for firing up the K2 (#3272, 5 watts to a
multi-band vertical).  Last year I operated 40-10 meters and had better
luck with DX on 40 meters than this time.  Until I built the K2, I never
would have thought that working EU on 40 from the West Coast with 5
watts and a simple antenna was possible.

27 QSOs, 16 Countries, 1,296 points.
