Hi Greg,
It think there is a lot to that. I use to tell my art students that creating
a painting or drawing entailed the aritst putting part of himself or herself
into it. I think the K2 mojo is the same thing. I guess that means I could
never sell it, not that I want to, becuause, it just won't work for anyone
else. :-) By the way, mine is #6113.

Gary - Like somebody told me last month, when I made my first QRP contacts
on K2 #6100, it's "K2 Mojo"! I plan on seeing what I can do on SSB with a
Pac-12 portable antenna this weekend ;-).

I had a blast on 20 meters last night. The band was really bad and there
were
very few weak signals. I installed the SSB board a couple of nights ago
and I
wanted to test it out on the air. I called and called CQ most of the
evening
but, no luck. So, I went to the CW portion of the band and just happened
to
hear Pedro in Mexico calling CQ. We had a great chat and we were both
running
5 watts QRP. He is my first DX contact with the K2. I went back to SSB
but,
there wasn't much to listen too. I tried calling again. At eight o'clock
I
gave up.
Thirty minutes later I tried again. I called with no response. Tuning
further up the band I came across Mike in Farmington, Maine booming in
here
(Wyoming) with a 20 over nine signal. I figured if anyone can hear me, he
could. We had a great conversation. He was running 1000 watts and a
tribander. I told him that I was running 10 watts with a quarter wave
vertical. He couldn't believe it. Anyway, he was my first contact with
SSB
and I am pretty excited to know that it works great even in crummy
conditions!
I just had to tell someone. This rig is fantastic!
Thanks,
Gary, N7HTS
