K2 is too good

Ian Stirling, G4ICV, AB2GR
  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?  ;)

Re: K2 is too good

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,

Re: K2 is too good

John Lonigro
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,
