[Elecraft] Uzbekistan to Japan Elecraft qrp qso

[Gil Stacy]

Elecraft products seem to have a worldwide following.
The recent FISTS The Keynote has an interesting account in the East Asia
section regarding a 6000 km qso between Manabu, UK/JI2MED, in Tashkent,
Uzbekistan, using his K2 at 5 watts and Shin, JP6VCH, in Japan using his K1
at 3 watts.  The qso lasted 14 minutes and was in English.  Shin was beach
portable using a fishing rod as a 15 meter whip antenna.
