[Elecraft] re "No. 5607 first contact QRP"

[Dauer, Edward]

Same feeling here.  I run a K3/KPA500 at the home QTH (in Colo.) but built a KX3 (s/n 5411) to take with me for the few weeks when I am working away from home (in NY).  With the simplest low dipole it's a kick to work the world with 5 watts - and even more so to sneak through a pile-up.  As a new QRPer myself I was attracted by the "KMPW" challenge (though I can't recall who's sponsoring it) - "thousand miles per watt."  I am at a little over 0.9 KMPW with the KX3 so far; I heard that someone did a 9,000 mile QSO with 500 mw, for 18KMPW.
