I upgraded to the K3 from a very old, very basic rig and am unsure if other
modern rigs are capable of such a narrow bandwidth that is actually useful, ie
w/o ringing.
With a 50Hz bandwidth, I'm learning that spotting the last station worked by
the DX is much more accurate than would be
First you assume that everyone uses spots. Some of us do not. (I know I'm in
the minority here)
Second, if a DX station is working split, you don't know where he is listening
but I doubt that he is using 50 Hz BW, especially if he's working a mode other
than CW :-)
I think your getting

I think your getting through better is more a function of mental telepathy
than hardware

As I said, mental telepathy :-)
BTW, about what I said spots. Since my last message a few minutes ago, I
worked ZL8X on 15M CW. I then heard him say QSY SSB. I tuned to their
announced operating freq, set XIT to +5 and waited. When he made his first CQ I
got him on one call, with my
It means they are smarter than the average bear and also are paying less in
overweight baggage fees :.)
Seriously, I'm sure it's coincidence, but I worked the ZL8 on my third call,
which is pretty amazing for my puny signal. I spent hours calling the PJs.
