[Elecraft] Take the plung!

[Sam Morgan]

since I was running 100w from my K3
into an Hi-Q 6/160 @ 20' with 6% efficiency
so ERP was about 6w,
so I didn't feel qualified to go and add  /QRP to my call
/me chuckles behind hand

and I also had a number of ESP level Q's listed
sure hope the ones I entered were real

but I did manage
158 Q's
358 points
45 multipliers
16110 total score
19:16 op time

could never have done it with out the
Excellence of Elecraft's mojo
although my K2 was rather sad that it missed the contest
I think it's developing K3 envy, sigh
sibling relation are getting tricky here in the shack


P.S.
Thanks to you Nick, I was finally able to get AR in the log,
never heard another the whole contest,
you were 7 Q's before I stopped,

I think all 3 RI stations I heard and tried to work
were both TX and RX into their dummy loads
