At 2249Z I heard K0RDW calling CQ on 14.032.71 and answered him with my K2 at full power and the J-38 from my first-grade science project. I unhooked the International Crystal OX-1 oscillator from one side of the key and answered Ron with 15W or so from the K2. Ron is in St. Paul, MN where it was 22F and sleeting. He was running 25W from an Icom 756 Pro to a 3 el up 45 feet! His signal was great here, about 579; Ron gave me a 559.
