[Elecraft] Sweepstakes

It's horses for courses (deliberate pun intended)... I've only entered 
two contests and came second both times! My friend Tim, G4ARI, won on 
both occasions. The contest was the RSGB low power contest 
(http://www.contesting.co.uk/hfcc/rules/rqrp.shtml). We both ran 
Elecraft K2/10 transceivers to dipole and doublet antennas, the maximum 
points are gained from working low power and portable stations, so 
QRPers have a huge advantage. The portable stations are limited on 
antenna height and supports.

I'm not the fastest CW operator around, usually operating 20 - 25 wpm, 
but if you miss something you can always ask the station to repeat it - 
they probably need the details recording as accurately as you do.
