[Elecraft] Bands are open -- CW WPX is a great time to test-drive a new KX2

[Matt Murphy]

I had some fun in WPX last night on 40M with my KX3 portable (on a
screened-in porch) in Michigan. Used an ez-hang to install a 120' longwire
in a 90' tree (I landed a perfect first shot between two high limbs). Felt
like I was running 100W and the RX audio was a joy to listen to. I didn't
win all jump balls but easily worked a fair bit of DX.  The higher bands
weren't as favorable for me this morning but looking forward to tonight.

73,
