[Elecraft] WOO HAA! Swains Island on 7 watts SSB

[Lew Phelps K6LMP]

Just about to head out to work here in LA area, decided to give a listen for Swains Island on 40 meters. Booming in, so I gave a call and they came right back, a little difficulty at first, until I realized I had my xmit power on my K3 dialed down to two watts. Bumped up to 7 and no problem.  "Well, a QRP station finally made it in," the op said. "Congratulations." 

First DXpedition QSL ever.  Good feeling.  Great rig.
