[Elecraft] next solar cycle: article

[Joseph Reed]

Stephen,
   
  I live in a very antenna challenged location.  I have a Butternut HF6V on a tiny city lot with lots of obstructions in the near field.  80 is a challenge for me.  And with the responsibilities of work and family I don't get to live on the radio.  With the Mojo that comes with every K2  I expect you are correct that the K2\100 could get the job done next winter.  But the MOAA could make it a lot easier.  Plus I need to justify the MOAA with the XYL :)  
   
  That said, there is a lot to say about the Butternut vertical.  Of the 307 I have confirmed I worked 306 on the vertical.  The only one I didn't was XZ and when I did the L4B blew the traps on the TA33. (I was max power at the time).
   
  73,
  Joe N9JR

I'd be very surprised if you'd need the MOAA to work 100 countries on 
80m. The K2 should handle it easily.
