[Elecraft] Field day radio

[Milt -- N5IA]

Everything with a grain of salt.  As in all Ham operations, it is LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

The the station, and 3rd, the operators.  And oh yeah; propagation.

In the past we have run QRP with K2 transceivers and solar power, and set a national record in our class.  See the 2005 score line at http://www.eaars.org/fd7qpstats.pdf and photos at http://www.eaars.org/05fieldday.html

SSB was an integral part of the operation with one K2.  That position made 822 Qs.

CW ops had two positions, and made a total of 1,193 Qs.

One important caveat though -- don't even think of running SSB QRP on 
Field Day. We learned that the hard way last year. We could run rates of 
70 Qs per hour on CW, but were lucky to do 5 an hour on SSB.
