[Elecraft] first dx with K2

[K3yt at aol.com]

Well I finished the SSB adapter for  my K2  #5150 last night and  promptly 
worked Honduras on 20m.
 
Already this morning worked Netherlands and Switzerland with 5/9 and 
5/6 reports on 17m.
 
Not bad for 10 watts and a vertical (R7000).  At the bottom of the  cycle yet.
(Of course all these folks were running multi-element  yagi arrays.)
 
I'm suitably impressed.  Fine radio.
 
BTW, I just strapped the mic header across and am using
a 20 year old or so Lafayette 700 ohm dynamic mike (from a CB?).
 
No drive problems and all reports so far are fine clear audio.
 
73 all de Bob K3YT
