K2 QRP DXCC

[David F. Reed]

Well, I am sure I am not the first one, nor the only one, but today I
worked the last station I needed to achieve DXCC QRP with my K2 serial
number 4960 (almost 50% on SSB).
I have been using it on and off since summer of 2006 when WA2DKG built
it for me (thanks Jerry!) providing me many hours of pleasure.

Most QSOs have been confirmed via eQSL, some by LotW.  No award until
they are all in, but pretty good for this chunk of the solar cycle,  and
further proof (as if any were needed) of the Elecraft mojo.

What next?  Maybe DXCC with my KX-1, or my K1, or K3?  I cam close to
WAS with the KX-1, so that might be the next project.

Speak up out there; surely there are good stories of other awards and
the same ones, from the rest of you and I would enjoy hearing about them.

Hello Dave,
 Congratulations on the DXCC (K2). I just got 1644 on the air after 8 years of it sitting in the box. I am enjoying every minute of it. Today I ran the spectrogram program to set up the filters and WOW what a difference that made. So far I've worked 13 countries with it over the last couple of weeks. I've been working on the mods to bring it up to date. After I got the filters set I've been playing around in the SAC contest and worked several Scandinavian countries. Not bad for 5 watts and a windom. Its nice to get rid of all the QRM around a station.
 The other day I was able to dig ZK3MW out of the mud on 30 meters. I didn't get to work him but it was neat to see what the rig could do. I wish I had the filters set right for that.
  Anyway, again, great job, and especially with all those SSB QSOs.

73, Larry, NU4B
