[Elecraft] 160 on the K2

[Dave G.]

I was first licensed as G3UTY in 1964.
My first rugs were home brew, 2 tube Rx and 2 tube Tx  on 
"Top Band" (1.8 Mhz).
We used to run mobile using a center loaded 8 ft whip 
attached to the rear bumper.
I could work a lot of europe with that configuration...

You don't know what you can do until you try :-)
