Elecraft in ARRL 160

Julius Fazekas n2wn
Curious how many other Elecrafts made the Top Ten in
the ARRL 160.

I know Gene, KB7Q, used one, as did I... Anyone else?

Looks like I made #36 for QRP Single Op with my K2 and only a couple of hours of opearating time.

I didn't make the top ten but was #3 SOLP in MI section.  Could only operate
about 14 hours-getting too old to stay up all night.

Great going Russ!

The wee hours when things slow down some can be a bit
tough, even if you're young hihi!

The K2 holds up really well under the conditions
during a To Band contest.

Cheers,
Julius

160M QRP is getting to be very popular and
competitive.

You folks in the west do get kinda robbed on
multipliers...of course, KL7 is somewhat easier ;o)

Yes, and KH6 and JA also.
I even worked N8S on topband during the expedition.
Also found that I took first place in Pacific Division
ARRL 160 cw.  Just aren't that many QRPers on
top band out here.

5th place QRP with K2 #2154. Shunt-fed 22 meter tower and K9AY
loop array for antennas.  #2 QRP multiplier total, way behind
VY2ZM.  Gathering mults is the only way I can compete from
Arizona, where it's a long way to the 160 meter population
center.

See you in the next contest.

Bob,

Heard my first Japanese stations on 160 this year.
Still need to figure out where they were listening.
KH6 is pretty easy from here, we must be in the skip
zone. I didn't hear N8S on the Top Band, had limited
time to chase them. Nice QRP catch!

I think a lot of folks think they have to have a KW
and a monster to be effective on 160. You're a great
example, as are others here, of what is possible with
less than ideal antennas and 100 watts or less. The
band takes some patience and has a learning curve.
There are some great surprises for those interested...

73,
Julius
