[Elecraft] CA QP result

[Dale Putnam]

Wow, that was fun, with pretty much good signals the whole time through. Wish I could have stayed up for the whole night... Even heard a bunch on 160, although that must be asking a lot for the antenna system here, the big vertical is not here now. But the EDZ for 80 - 20 work pretty well, although I didn't realize that Ca was that much of the compass. 
  What is interesting to me, is that with the K2, I had a number of times that only one call was needed to get the Q. Ran 5 watts on Bird, and indicated, for power out, with only a couple times that calls were made that didn't result in Qs. I heard the mobile signal layer, below the "killer" stations... sometimes right next to the big boys... and still got the Q... 
  The NM, AFIL, and cw filter combo, makes a very nice and very workable system, Thanks to the whole crew in Aptos. mmmmm... I wonder... would they ever rename the Ca Qp to the Ca Elecraft QP?... *G*
 
Final claimed = 158 Q - 45 Counties, and 21,330 ... 
 
Fun stuff, when it all works... and it all works with the K2.--... ...--Dale - WC7S in Wy
