[Elecraft] Swains Island

[Bill Frantz]

I just got back from the West Valley Amateur Radio Association 
(using K5EI) field day wrap up meeting. This year they were 
working as 10A battery QRP with an all Elecraft HF lineup (K2s 
and K3s). In the past there was significant interference between 
digital, SSB, and CW on the same band. This year they reported 
zero interference problems which they attribute to:

   Elecraft equipment.

   Careful placement of antennas.

   QRP keeps the power down at the local receivers.

Cheers - Bill, AE6JV
