[Elecraft] OT: Other Radios

[Fred Jensen]

Can't report on snow, seasoned or otherwise, but never underestimate the 
usefulness of a barbed wire fence.  I took my K2 to our Cal QSO Party 
expedition in Alpine County one year and use an old, falling down fence 
behind our camp connected directly to the BNC antenna connector through 
a short length of RG-58 and the ATU didn't even run more than a second 
or so.  Made a number of CW Q's from 8,550 ft.  We also used that fence 
as the counterpoise for a 160 Inv-L a couple of times.
