[Elecraft] OT - 10 meter contest

[Solosko, Robert B (Bob)]

 For the few hours that I was on throughout the weekend, I managed 10 CW
and 2 SSB QSOs (and Scott was one of my CW QSOs) in MA, NH and RI, all
within about 50 miles of my QTH . But in the 2 years that I've had my
K2/100, these are my first QSOs on 10m, so I'm quite satisfied.

I've been playing in the contest on-and-off.
QRP is always tough but it looks like this is going to be a "worked all
MA" effort. {grin} So, I'm not sure you're having worse luck than the
rest of us.

The good news is that I had done a little work on my K2 (QRP version--no
100w option) and wanted to know if it was behaving well. My friend in NH
just over the border) worked me and said the radio "sounded like music".
I know that's music to my ears!

Conditions aren't the greatest. I've put about 20 in the log with MA,
NH, and ME as mults.
I've got just a dipole hidden in some adjacent woods. Perhaps those with
aluminum farms are having better luck?

I must say, as I sit here I'm thinking of building another K2. This
really is a sweet little radio!
