[Elecraft] Fun early mornings on 80M

[Pete Meier]

While Ed is having fun on 3.560 I'm having a ball up a kHz or so just beyond 3.561

I worked 5 stations this morning from Manitou Springs, CO on my mcHF QRP transceiver at 5 watts to an EFHW up at 30 feet.
Three of those ops had also worked Ed.

W3KC	CHAS from Damascus, MD - not bad for QRP!!
N5GW	GENE from Vicksburg, MS
WB8ICN	MIKEY from Jackson, MI
AF5DM	DAVE from Plano, TX
K1ND	JAN  from Ypsilanti, MI

I want to thank the operators for their patience and skill in working my QRP station surrounded by the foothills of the Rockies near Pikes Peak.

Its was a thrill to work K1ND and WB8ICN, two Michigan friends I’ve known for years and whom I never had a CW QSO until I moved out here.

This radio stuff is fun even in the doldrums of our current solar cycle!
