all Elecraft FD entry

Fred Maas
FWIW ... W5YA 3AB (QRP) was an all Elecraft K3 entry on field day this year.  The performance broke the previous category record set by another all Elecraft team, K7EAR, in 2005.  The K3's performed flawlessly.

73,  Fred - KT5X

We were also an all Elecraft entry with 2 K2s running on battery and solar and QRP.  We had a tri bander hex beam and a multi band dipole for 40-20-10 EFHW. Sleep limited us (slept from midnight to about 6 AM). The K2s worked without a hitch. The heat was oppressive but it was still fun working the contacts.  Photos at http://www.ny4g.blogspot.com

Congrats Fred.

I was the FD Chairman for Eastern AZ Amateur Radio Society, Inc.   http://eaars.com/   for the 2005 operation of K7EAR from the Pinaleno Mtn. Range in South Eastern AZ.

The lineup then, of course was all K-2s.  See the photos at           http://eaars.com/05fieldday.html

Again congrats.  Onward and upward.

Milt, N5IA
