Stephen, I live in a very antenna challenged location. I have a Butternut HF6V on a tiny city lot with lots of obstructions in the near field. 80 is a challenge for me. And with the responsibilities of work and family I don't get to live on the radio. With the Mojo that comes with every K2 I expect you are correct that the K2\100 could get the job done next winter. But the MOAA could make it a lot easier. Plus I need to justify the MOAA with the XYL :) That said, there is a lot to say about the Butternut vertical. Of the 307 I have confirmed I worked 306 on the vertical. The only one I didn't was XZ and when I did the L4B blew the traps on the TA33. (I was max power at the time). 73, Joe N9JR

The K2 should handle it easily. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
