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

[wayne burdick]

Things are jumping, even on the high bands. Lots of DX on 15 and 20 m, and I just worked Uruguay on 10 m (10 watts, internal battery, dipole :)

Get thee to a shack nearby and Operate :)

I've been doing just that.  Working Europe on 5 watts and a dipole.  Of
course I'm in New England.  We're a little closed to Europe than you west
coast guys. Works great.  Just like a mini K3!

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.
