Lloyd The K2 is also my QRO (15W) rig !
I also worked him with the K2 running 10W on 40m cw and got a 339 report. I guess the "high" power was the ticket. That's #210 (mixed bands and modes) for me so far using "low power" and QRP on a vertical antenna. Have not had the need to push for the 15W yet but under present conditions if I find a #211 on the air who knows ?
