[Elecraft] QLF?

[Dauer, Edward]

I just learned there will be a QLF contest at Frostfest in Richmond in February.  (Our son and his family live there, so the trip wouldn’t be entirely fanciful.)  If I enter the contest I’ll want to train for it seriously.  Having never done QLF before, I am open to advice.  First, the equipment – do the contestants each bring their own “key” or is there some contraption everyone has to use, to equalize the challenge?  How about a KXPD3, for the low power single toe division?  What’s the duration of the transmission?  What characteristics will the judges be most attentive to – would a snazzy sock design give an unfair advantage?

And yes, Elecraft reportedly will have a table there too.
