[Elecraft] K2/10 SSB operating notes

[Kurt Cramer]

I run a K2/10 on a Southern AZ RACES Home Unit 75 meter SSB net every Saturday morning. I am heard by everyone in Southern Arizona. The main point of the net is to encourage stations to maintain and operate on a backup power source. I maybe 10 db weaker, but I have about 50 pounds less battery then the 100 watt stations. I check into a state wide RACES net on Sunday mornings and almost all stations copy me. I guess I think every Amateur should have a 10 watt station. Especially if they have more then one transceiver in their station. I admit I have the 100 amp for the K2 and several older vintage stations and a amp with a 3-500Z and I use them all at different times, but if I could only have one station it would be the K2/10.
