[Elecraft] CW QRP

[Tony Castellano]

I just worked V73NS, Marshall Islands, on 15 meters using my K2 running 4.7 Watts to a OCF dipole. My QTH is in ENY, near Poughkeepsie, NY. There were quite a few stations on the frequency, but the K2 got through.
This makes CW QRP country number 160 with my K2 since I first joined the Elecraft family one year and 3 months ago.
My best DX was Hawaii running 100 mW to the OCF dipole for 50,000 miles per Watt.
My country number 159 was Swains Island on 12 meters.
A good friend who owns a KX1, K1, K2, K3 and KX3 got me interested in Elecraft. Since I built my K2, I built a K1 and another
K2 for my wife W1ALI.
I also own a KX3 which is a great rig, but I still like to operate the K2. I might add that I don't own a mike and work only CW.
So don't count out the K2.

Thank you Elecraft for great products.
