[Elecraft] OT - 10 meter contest

[B. Scott Andersen]

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!
