[Elecraft] Taken the plunge!

[Dale Putnam]

I'm in upload mode, from the 160 test, where there are over 250 Qs in the log, with over 50 mults, for 9 hours of play, 
and not nary a one of those Qs had me signing /QRP, even when the PJ2 that called me. There may have been one or two ops that
gave me their /qrp.. but I pretty much ignored it. However, after many hours of using the K2, I must admit it still amazes me, in its ability to allow me to hear the weak signals, some were qrp, some weren't, but when the S meter, agc, or any other indication that there may be a signal to be heard is telling you "nothing there" but your ears hear it, and copy it, and a Q goes into the log.. That is a very good receiver. 
I'm also impressed with the number of K3s being used during the contest. And you say, how's that? Easy, as a ruff estimate, not very many other rx will settle in as close as a K3, and run.. as close to other strong stations.. then still hear the weak ones.. K3 or K2? Who cares..?? as long as they hear well, and don't sign /QRP.
