[Elecraft] ARRL CW DX

[Curt Milton]

Lenny, 

nice work with your K2.  i enjoyed the event with a
K2/100 (that previously enjoyed similar contests QRP
before its 'upgrade').  the low bands especially are
in nice shape, even for modest stations - and I even
worked VP6DX on 15m from the east coast with only a
vertical.  

at least one of the ops at PZ5WW is K8DD, a K2-user. 
prior to event on thursday nite he was running QRP
from his K2 on 40 and 20 meters.  hint -- look for
some of these visiting DX ops lingering today after
the contest.  

73, Curt
