[Elecraft] KX2 and Sherwood Eng. RX Performance Ranking?

[Phil Hystad]

I have ONLY operated QRP and 10 watts with my KX3 and that is all I plan to do with my KX2.
Operating QRP with a compromise antenna is a challenge and it is fun.  I am surprised that more
people do not love this.

Of course CW only!
