K2\100 going to Guyana

[Ken K7ZUM]

Hi All,

          Just a short note, my DX-ped partner (AH8DX-8R1EA) and I
are preparing to leave this sunday evening,Feb.26th., for Guyana 8R1
land on another "suitcase" DX-ped, plan on being in Georgetown on
Tuesday Feb. 28th, and hopefully set up soon afterwards. I have applied
for the call 8R1ZUM, and plan on doing mostley RTTY while I am there,
then the ARRL Dx phone test, and a litte more RTTY after the test, leave
for home on Tuesday March 7th. I will be taking my K2\100 plus small
solid state amp, single butternut vertical. If anybody on the Elecraft
reflector needs Guyana on RTTY, this will be a good opportunity.

btw, I don't know if anybody else on the reflector does this, but everytime
I turn my K2 on, and use if on a DX-ped hour after hour, I sit and look at
this itty bitty radio, and am just amazed at how something so small, can be so
good !  anybody else do this ?????

Yessir .... several times.
We used two of them at FP/K8DD in the 2005 CQ WW CW contest and also
before the contest.
And used one of them at VO2AAA  in the 2004 CQ WW CW contest
And used one at V47WW a couple of years ago

As Karl Malden said years ago "Don't leave home without it!"

73 and gl in the test!
