I just called an N4 from New Jersey - that op
was 519 in my stock FL4 filter setting, otherwise in the noise. I received a "sri no copy". It could be that my ten Watts from my bare K2 wasn't sufficient - but that op heard me. What good is a superb K2 if the other guy isn't using one? ;) Ian, G4ICV, AB2GR, K2 4962 -- _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I think we should have some special "Almost QSL" cards
printed up. They would say: "If you had been using a K2 as well, we would have QSOed on -Date-, -Time-, -Freq- etc. Your signal was RST 579 with my K2 connected to a wet noodle. Strange that you couldn't hear me..." I may make some up myself! 73, Ken Alexander VE3HLS --- Ian Stirling <[hidden email]> wrote: > I just called an N4 from New Jersey - that op > was 519 in my stock FL4 filter setting, otherwise > in the noise.

While I agree the K2 is a great radio, just remember the other station
may have been putting out a whole lot more than 10 Watts. Then it would make perfect sense for you to hear him, but not vice versa, even if his radio had as good a receiver. 73's, John AA0VE Ken Alexander wrote: > I think we should have some special "Almost QSL" cards > printed up.
