[Elecraft] 200 QRP countries on K2

[Bob Nielsen]

I suspect that he means countries to go, not QSOs.  Who will be the 
first at the top of the honor roll with a K2?  Or, since that is 
somewhat impractical with a few countries currently being impossible to 
activate, who will be the first all-K2 honor roll member?  200 countries 
is an impressive total in any case. My congratulations to Dave!

72/73, Bob N7XY
