[Elecraft] 80m CW last night...

[Marc G0AZS]

Dear all

Forgive the bandwidth but I just had to share this.

I have been trying to improve my CW over the last few weeks by getting
myself onto 80m of an evening and having one or two rag chewing type QSO's.

Well last might I was tuning around when I heard a station calling so I
replied. It was Bill G4WJM  also in the UK. We started chatting and at one
point he said he was using 5W and  I told him that I was using my IC 706
with 10W. However I then said that I really would like to build an Elecraft
rig... possibly a K2.

He then came straight back and said I was listening to a K2, he had just
finished building it and this was his first QSO!

I don't know who was more chuffed, him or me. It really did sound great.

Anyway I'm more motivated than ever to get one.
