Not at all, Bob. This is very definitely a technical reflector with emphasis on the Elecraft radios. However, I might point out that contesting is not just operating, it has a very technical base. Many excellent contest operators operator from stations that are very technically sound, even advanced over what many of us can realistically put together.
As the "mandatory" Elecraft content for this msg, I just point out that more and more contesters are using Elecraft radios one way or another. I ran my K2 at 5w this weekend and a borrowed receiver to make up a "sort of" SO2R station, standing for Single Operator 2 Radios. Normally this would be a two transceiver setup, but the second receiver really did me gather up more QSOs. Hope to hear you trying out a contest sometime, just to see what the shouting is all about. Good luck and 73 Bob N6WG The Little Station with Attitude -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 5:32 PM To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] What is this??? (re: sweeps...) I bought a K2 because it is a great rig... I joined the reflector.... I am only at Assembly stage 2 due to Wilma. Direct hit here. And what happens the next week end? CQWWSSB... Try passing H&W during that. I did not expect 30 emails in one day about contesting.... I've been a ham 28 years,and there is a place for contesting. I guess I was mistaken thinking this was a K2 technical reflector. 73 de Bob K3YT _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
