[Elecraft] XE1/NM6E Mini-K2-QRP-work-xpedition now Active

[Javier Campos]

In an effort to promote Larry's ,W2LJ, 100 in 100 DXCC
diploma, and it just so happens I am in Mexico
extremely often on business, I have my K2 #4409 built
by Don W3FPR up and active from (right now) the 40th
floor hotel here in Mexico City.


Planned Operation Dates: March 7-16th
Evenings on 20,30,40m  .035-045 of the bands on CW and
on SSB on .195-.205. I can do other bands 10-80
Times: 00:00UTC to about 05:00UTC

I plan on being active from a park bench or a better
operating location for the EQP that is supposedly this
weekend. (I am going to ask for access to the
Heli-pad! That should be a nice ground plane!

I will be active from XE2 (Northen Mexico)next week so
you may  even work a different XE zone as well.

Rig: K2 #4409 using internal battery and Smart Charger
Antenna: MP-1 

Hopefully, the bands will allow for me to work other
Elecraft owners/rigs and and hand out what should be
an "easy" DXCC entity for other QRP/Elecraft
enthusiasts on both modes.

Operating times and days may vary as I have a 10Gb
optical network to  finish up so my real-work may
supersede operating!

73 and I hope to work you

Javier XE1/NM6E
