[Elecraft] [K2] #7040 is alive!

[Michael Babineau]

John :

Congratulations on K2 S/N 7040 coming to life !  

I finished my K2 (#5995) about a week and a half ago and operated Single Operator, Single Band (20m) QRP 
with it in the CQ WW contest this past weekend, from my cottage in VE2. 

I managed to make 235 QSOs, working 61 countries and 20 Zones using 5 watts with wire antennas ! 

CQ WW on 20m at QRP power levels was certainly "trial by fire" for this rig but its performance  exceeded my expectations. 
I was amazed at both how sensitive and selective the receiver is. 

For the price and the size/weight nothing can touch the K2.  

Best of luck with your K2 John and I wish you many happy hours of DX !
