[Elecraft] (OT) -- Regarding the QRP Discussion

That would be Ulrich, N2DE, KX3, Begali Adventure, & his baby, the  Begali 
CW Machine.  A combo very hard to beat.

FYI - if  any Listers here happened to work 3DA0US in the last couple of 
days, you  might be interested to  learn that he was running a KX3 at 
between 5  and 10 watts depending upon his DC input level.  His antenna 
was a  PAR Omni Angle on a 22 foot fiberglass pole.  He made 400 contacts 
in  two days of operating and he was only on a few hours each day.  In a  
couple of weeks he'll be operating as 7P8US with the same rig and  
antenna.  


The PAR Omni Angle is only a 7 foot aluminum  rectangle with a matching 
network and it only weighs a couple of pounds.  Most hams would probably 
dub the Par Omni Angle a "suboptimal" or  "compromise" antenna.  


A well versed operator, knowledge of  propagation, patience, preparation, 
perseverance and top shelf equipment  goes a long way to offset the 
handicap of a "compromise"  antenna.
