I just got back from the West Valley Amateur Radio Association
(using K5EI) field day wrap up meeting. This year they were
working as 10A battery QRP with an all Elecraft HF lineup (K2s
and K3s). In the past there was significant interference between
digital, SSB, and CW on the same band. This
Location helps!

I just worked NH8S on 12 meters using my K2 running 5 Watts into a 135 foot OCF
dipole. This makes QRP country number 159
in a little over a year using my K2. Needless to say I am extremely pleased
with my K2.
I am located in Eastern NY State.

On THIS one, yes -- only 4600 miles for me, all the hops over water.
We west coasters think the same thing when we hear you east coast guys
talking about how easy it is to work DXCC in a weekend QRP -- less than
4,000 miles
West coast advantage!

Good for those who are working them QRP. DX success is not a matter of
simply adding more power. As many Elecrafters are well aware, a little
operating skill can substitute for a lot of watts.

Congratulations! I'm trying for all bands QRP. So far, I've worked
them with my K3 set for 5 watts on 10 CW, 15 SSB, 17 CW and SSB, 20 CW,
40 SSB, and 160
Good job Stan!!

I haven't heard the phase noise, with a pair of K2s, and various K1s, KX1s, and
K2s in the shack, and on the antennas here. Different bands than that of the
monitoring receiver.

Interesting that Icom phase noise would be mentioned . . . a few years
ago at FD one of the guys brought his then-new IC7000 to use as the CW
station.
We had the antennas arranged such that the two stations (we were 2A)
could be on one band with no issues. So long as both the phone and CW

Gary,
The operator himself is a large part of the equation I believe, but then again
they have very good operators...
We have 9 days to go and they way they are knocking out the Q's you will
undoubtedly do well in a few more days on the WARC bands.
They will be calling CQ an
Unfortunately, comments of that nature do not improve the Icom image
over the K3. It may be that Icom is providing the transceivers for the

I was very surprised to hear very good operators NOT being able to
distinguish call signs over and over again.
I thought it was me so I went up to listen in the pileup from JA and
granted they are sometimes S9+20 with the 'weaker' ones @ S

*Tony,
I have worked them on 4 bands so far bbut I have noticed they continually
ask for a partial call sign to be repeated. By this I noticed they will ask
"the station ending in Tango your call?" and they do this with almost every
call and most of the time on all bands.
Listening to the pileup
The NH8S expedition, partly sponsored by Elecraft, has been going strong
for a while and will be running until the 19th. Swains Island is the 31st
most-needed DX country, according to DX News. They are using KPA500 amps,
although not K3s (tsk-tsk). For whatever reason, the pileups have not been
