K2 was working fine except some minor problems. On phone RF was getting
to the mic-line when using Heil headset. MH2 handmike worked well after
I got informed about my problem. On CW I found intermittent RX on 160 meters
when changing from RX-antenna to TX-antenna. This doesn't occur always,
so propably it is poor solder connection in K160RX. I think I have something
wrong with KAT2, because signal level is weaker for ant2 than ant1 connector.
So I used only ant1 and external antenna switch during CW-contest.

I have made some 1800 QSOs since summer with my K2 and have been quite pleased
with it. RX is as good as it has been said. I need to collect the money
for KPA100 though. QRP power is not enough on the 160 m band for working
DX and I need more drive for my amplifier.
