Yes I also had a most enjoyable weekend. I gave a presentation there
on general QRP operating, as a means to encourage the big DXers that
there is a lot to be done with 5W and a K2. This was not a talk about
the K2 per se, but it was there - no real opportunities for a real
antenna and the few feet of wire I attached received nothing, but
that wasn't the point - the KAT2 could still match it!
Not sure if you were among the many who complemented me on my talk, I
lost count. Maybe next year we can have a more K2 orientated
presentation, but a 45 minute slot is rather short and you have to
miss a few things out (just like the things I forgot..).
And yes, reading another message, don't let on you are QRP before you
start the QSO. Signing /QRP is out, all those who do get 449 reports,
those who don't get 599 like everybody else. Just as I said at the
convention on Saturday.
You will find a few pictures of the convention and other things on my
QRP page -
