[Elecraft] KAT2 arrived...

[Brett gazdzinski]

It arrived yesterday after fighting with the post office.
I built in last night after dinner, seemed to 
go fine and test fine, I am at the installation into the rig point.
No missing parts.


Curious to see what it does to the power output readings.


I actually got on the air a few days ago with the K2, despite
not knowing about 5 letters of the code.
I answered a CQ of medium strength and going slow (8 wpm?)
and got a QRS in response but I chickened out.

Conditions were not good for QRP with radical fade outs on 40
meters.

I wrote out the letters I need to know by sound without thinking
so I can drive around and read signs in code to learn them.
That's how I learned the first time...

It's the usual J P U W X Y and Z.
I should remember W and X as many ops send the WX reports
during a QSO...

Fun!
