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 - http://www.davesergeant.com/qrp/qrp.htm 73 Dave G3YMC http://www.davesergeant.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
