[Elecraft] KX1 Mojo /PM

[n0evh]

It started in FYBO 2004.  I worked Paul W0RW in a snow pile in CO from my snow
pile in MO and later found out he was /PM.  What started?  My thinking that
someday I needed to stick a whip in my back pocket and try not to electrocute
myself.  Then I was running my K2, but now my KX1 is begging to go /PM.

Last night I finally got around to it.  Hustler whip in back pocket.  KX1 on AA
batts running full out at 2 watts.  Sixteen foot drag wire and looking for
signals on 20.  Dog Josey standing by just in case I saw a bear.  You know I've
heard they like /PM hams.

ATU tunes the hustler 1 to 1.  Only one strong signal and he was chewing the rag
on 14059.  Was afraid that the band would die.  Move up 1 kc and play memory one
three times.  Low and behold Chris comes back on 14.060 from PA.  An 800 mile
/PM QSO MO to PA on 2 watts /PM!  And of course Chris was running his KX1, what
else?

Can't explain the mojo.  Did someone say we were at the bottom of the cycle?
