Well, that was fun! Spent four hours in the Sprint mixing it up with the
big boys and the lil K2 held its own just fine! On 20M, made most of my
QSO's with CQ's. On 40M, almost all were search and pounce, but most
were with a single call. 40M was a big surprise as I thought the band
sounded better on my K2 than on the FT-1000MP. The little notebook
switching P.S. also held up just fine and the sprint increased my states
worked with the K2 to 45. Best distance was WL7KY on 20M. One DX
station worked, LY2BTA.
Ron, you weren't on the "Boring Team" but on the "Really Boring Team"
along with me! N6TR from Boring, OR organized two teams.
