Fred: Many tks fer the feedback. You will be very happy wid ur k2 radio. I have used several and my present one is #054. The K2 was the world's gold standard until the K3 came along. I remember several rare DXpededitions where K2s were the main transceivers used! Now its the K3 as in the present dx to 706T all are--Wow! So you have chosen very wisely, good Sir, and it will be worth the wait.

I'm waiting on my K2 so still using my IC-703 Plus with W4RT duel filters it does a good job still waiting to compare the 2 radios. Finally made a QRP contact with 7O6T 5w on 17m 02:37 5/6/12 was very pleased but had a 5x9x20 on him just luck. 73, Fred/N0AZZ -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Wilford D Lindsey Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2012 4:36 AM To: gold...@charter.net; elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net; Wayne Burdick Cc: Elecraft; k...@yahoogroups.com; WD Lindsey K0EVZ Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Amazing opening on 20 meters right now Hey everybody: I can verify an amazIng opening on *40 metres* early this AM @ 0500 mountain time.....when I worked HK1MW with only one watt into my trusty homebrew wire vertical with 4 counterpoise wires. He had to ask for several fills but only becus of rude operators from EU who simply not stand by until he cud make out the final "z" in my call. But to his Korean doggedness, he kept with it until we had a complete QSO. I was thrilled, as this was my very very first QSO with a KX1 (traded for, but new to me, built a year ago). I ckecked the power out later wid an OHR WM-2. Thanks for letting me share this small vIctory, important when pain prevents sleep and I spend 24 hours a day "living" in this old wheelchair (!). Thanks to all the folks at Elecraft as always fer producing such a great rig as the KX1. It's simply fabulous, IMHO. 73, Doc/K0EVZ Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: gold...@charter.net Sender: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net Date: Sat, 5 May 2012 07:40:28 To: Wayne Burdick<n...@elecraft.com> Cc: Elecraft Reflector<elecraft@mailman.qth.net>; <k...@yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Amazing opening on 20 meters right now I knew I should have stayed up all night making contacts. At 10:30 PM EST 20m was open in MI, my problem was that I did not have any energy it was a long week at work. :-( ~73 Don KD8NNU On Sat, May 5, 2012 at 12:52 AM, Wayne Burdick wrote: > In northern California I'm hearing dozens of very strong EU stations > on 20 meter SSB.
