[Elecraft] [OT] The Joy of QRP

[stan levandowski]

...so there I am tuning across 20 meters and the band seems dead.  
Having learned a lot about self-fulfilling prophesies across my 53 year 
ham career, I go up to 14.060 and send one quick CQ.

A tiny signal appears but the KX3 has what it takes to make the most of 
the situation.  I manage to dig out N4KGL/6.  He's about a 329; he gives 
me a 449. 

Seems Greg is sitting in a hotel room at LAX in front of his own KX3 
hooked to a Buddistick. 

We're both running 5 watts.

My antenna is a doublet in my attic in New York.

Coast-to-Coast on 5 watts and a couple of suboptimal antennas on a dead 
band.

Ahhhhh....the joy of the unexpected!
