[Elecraft] 2 K2s?

[Robert Tellefsen]

Oh boy.  Another example of extrapolating from inadequate data :-
)
Sorry, Jack, I'm not likely to "upgrade" as I'm having too much
fun stealing the bacon from QRO stations in contests.  Gotta have
some compensation from being run over by ??kW trucks.

I was just pointing out that it would be more cost effective to do
the two units bit, and keep the existing K2 as a QRP only box.

Gotta feeling it may be a while before I hear the end of this :-)

I'll be trying the NS practice run tonight before I box up the
station for FD.  Hope to see you there.

73, Bob N6WG

Whoa! We have a scoop here! Mr QRP-ONLY himself, N6WG, actually 
stating that he would even consider a rig that can push more than 15 
watts is a major news item!

Go for it, Bob. After all you have done with 5 watts, it would be a 
very interesting experiment to see if you could do any better with a 
few more watts. With your proven capabilities and antenna system, I 
have a feeling that 100 watts would give about the same results as 
the 5 you have been running for years!

Still, actually stating that you would "opt" for more power is 
cataclysmic. The "big one" must be about to his San Andreas!!!
