[Elecraft] You can work Delta Xray with low power

[W4sc]

I am sure these two "DX" contacts I have made in the past week are not any 
miles per watt record, but you can "work 'em."  Trans continental contact 
has been made with W6YX (John at the Stanford ARC report to me 57), trans 
Atlantic contact was made last evening with HB9AAL (Pete reported my signal 
as 58).  Power out of the K2 was at 10 watts, SSB mode on 40 meters, and the 
antenna used was an experimental DLRDLL-EndFedZ strung up in the attic. 
There was no "DX net" involved, no "Hey Bill did you get his 55 report", no 
Internet, no Ma Bell.  It was done the OLD fashion way, "Call 'em and work 
'em."  I did this as a "secondary" activity to another project and no more 
than two calls were made to establish contact. The fun is still there.

ps.  The RX in this little box is amazing.  Easy to listen to and hears 
every thing.
