Ralph, VE7OM successfully uses his HF QRP rig on vacation in Hawaii. Ralph reaches both sides of the Pacific - California and Japan with his new 2.5 watt Elecraft KX-1 and buddy pole. He also managed to get through the pile-ups as the Kure Atoll activated for a couple of weeks during late September and early October.
