Re: [Elecraft] A little late, but.... CQ WPX (CW) going on right now

[John Harper]

Been using the KX2, with and without the KPA500 at times (the combo is good
for ~160 watts). 15m is currently open to EU - haven't seen that in a
while. Otherwise, wall to wall on 20m, day and night.

Thanks Wayne!!! 

 I am having a blast just with the KX3,  PX3, and KXPA100, what great designs!!!
The 20 M band is going great!!!
I'm just spending a few minutes here and there today and got through on the 
first try to UK, Finland, Slovak, and Czech.

Back to the radio 

Much Regards,
Dwight

Hi all,

I should have sent this yesterday, but it’s not too late to get in on the 
action: It’s the CQ WPX CW weekend. This is one of the best contests of the 
year in which to work some new countries, test your antennas, try a new rig, 
etc. 20 meters, in particular, is really hopping.

The exchange is simple; just   (starting with ‘1’). Full 
rules here:

This is a great contest for QRP, because all of the big-gun contest stations 
worldwide are using their high-gain antenna arrays (which help with signal 
strength on both ends). 

I was out hiking using the KX2 and the AX1 20/17 meter whip prototype (4’ long) 
today. Made about 10 contacts in 10 minutes with 10 watts (parallelism not 
intended :)  Best DX was Uruguay.
