[Elecraft] K2 Question

[Gary D Krause]

Hi Alan,

I also operate mostly CW with just a little SSB.  I have the KPA100 but, I 
find that most of my operating is done at 10 watts or less.  For me, operating 
SSB at ten watts is a blast.  In fact, I had a SSB contact with Aruba the 
other night with just ten watts.

Ten watts is quite adequate for CW, in my opinion.  About half of my contacts 
are QRP.  I should also say that I don't have any beam antennas.  I use only a 
vertical and magnetic loops.

It all depends on what you want and why you want it.

Have fun deciding!

Gary, N7HTS
