[Elecraft] milliwatt fun

[Leigh L Klotz, Jr.]

Not exactly milliwatts, but close: Yesterday at lunch, I sat on a patio 
at work in a valley surrounded by hills 100ft higher and a metal frame 
building, and tied a 24ft wire from my KX1 to a treetop about straight 
even with me.  I tuned about and all I could hear was the building badge 
reader on 14.030, but then I heard KC0SHU from Denver calling CQ on 
14.040.  Carl gave me a 559 and we had a nice QSO for most of my lunch 
hour.  Carl was running 80W from his Drake TR4.
