[Elecraft] K2 QRP DXCC

[gearjam]

Hello Dave,
 Congratulations on the DXCC (K2). I just got 1644 on the air after 8 years
of it sitting in the box. I am enjoying every minute of it. Today I ran the
spectrogram program to set up the filters and WOW what a difference that
made. So far I've worked 13 countries with it over the last couple of weeks.
I've been working on the mods to bring it up to date. After I got the
filters set I've been playing around in the SAC contest and worked several
Scandinavian countries. Not bad for 5 watts and a windom. Its nice to get
rid of all the QRM around a station. 
 The other day I was able to dig ZK3MW out of the mud on 30 meters. I didn't
get to work him but it was neat to see what the rig could do. I wish I had
the filters set right for that. 
  Anyway, again, great job, and especially with all those SSB QSOs.

73, Larry, NU4B
