[Elecraft] CQ WW CW contest this weekend...pedestrian mobile

[Bob Nielsen]

I was thinking of doing it running 5 watts to be in the QRP class, using 
my KX2 with the Elecraft version of the W6MMA screwdriver antenna (the 
Elecraft grey paint obviously contains some fine mojo).  I'm less mobile 
than I used to be but I can easily mount it to one of the handles of my 
walker and strap a paddle to the other handle with a zip tie.  Now, if 
only the weather will cooperate (doubtful).

(There probably isn’t a entry class for this. Oh well....) I did this for a short time last year and made several EU contacts at 10 W.
