[Elecraft] Taken the plunge!

[Jerry Muller]

What I just don't understand is why QRP operators have to sign "/QRP" after 
their callsigns when in a contest. It takes longer and the guy on the other 
end has to copy not only their call (often QRP stations are weak anyway), 
but the "/QRP" as well. I too am astonished when I work some EU station 
running 1 watt and he's 20 over, but like you said, it's all antennas. W1MJ 
made top ten in CW Sweepstakes from here a few years ago. Besides the fact 
that Eliot is a SUPER operator, my 4 element 40 didn't hurt any :-)

BTW, I'm a new K3 owner. It's the best RX I've ever owned and I've owned a 
few real good ones (Orion and Collins 75S3C). Congrats to the guys at 
Elecraft for a super rig!

73, Jerry - K0TV
Not a real zero, I just play one on K0TV
