As I mentioned previously on this list, I operated WPX CW from
northeastern France in 2004 with my 10 watt K2 (running 5 watts) and a
W6MMA MP-1 mini-screwdriver antenna plus counterpoise from a 6th floor
hotel room. The antenna was sitting on a table near the window and I
worked quite a bit of DX, including Tunisia and United Arab Emirates.
Being the only entrant in the 20M QRP category, I naturally came in
first place. Prior to the contest I worked many additional stations
including Aland Islands at 10 watts. Of course, propagation was a bit
better than is currently the case.
Caveat: This was the Elecraft version of that antenna (no longer
available) which had the loading coil painted in Elecraft grey, which
obviously added some additional mojo.
I'm planning on setting up the same antenna for use with my KX2 from my
ground level apartment but don''t expect quite the same performance.

What is the experience of operators with the KX2 indoors. I am going to start
using a KX2 with a W4OP antenna and I am concerned about getting out a signal.
