Naturally, I used my K2 (#1299) for the effort... 72, Joe, W2RBA +++++++++++++++++ Date: Tue, 03 Dec 2002 22:36:35 -0500 From: Lenny Wintfeld Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K2 takes another contest award To: k6iii at juno.com, elecraft at mailman.qth.net W2BVH gets: 2001 ARRL 10m contest - 1st place, single Op, CW-only, QRP, NNJ Section.

Oh well, if you insist.... Using my K2 together with a 144MHz transverter based on the Down East Microwave 144/28 kit, I won the 3W Single Op. section in four of the five RSGB 144MHz Backpackers contests this year. That puts me in second place overall in the 144MHz Backpackers Championship 2002.
