I'm a dyed-in-the-wool CW Op and have been trying to work K5D for the past 
week on QRP CW to no avail....with a CF Zepp up only 20 feet I am not 
surprised (grin).

After looking around the bands for them I heard them on 18.165 SSB of all 
things listening on 18.155 and I worked them on the 3rd call with my K3 at 
5W on SSB......go figure!!!

I can't remember the last time I operated SSB with my K3 but it has been a 
while so I guess you just can't keep the Elecraft/K3 Mojo down.

I operated portable QRP this past weekend from a local park with my K2 at 4W 
and a 100 foot wire antenna up in the trees and worked a bunch of DX 
stations...Hawaii being my best DX so the Elecraft Mojo is still jumping in 
my K2.

And the Elecraft hits just keep on coming!!
