Funny you should mention that Ken. Right after this weekend's CONTEST I send the following e-mail to one of the guys in my contest club. He has a multi-multi (that's multiple radio/multiple operator) contest station entirely using K3's. I've edited out his callsign to respect his privacy.
Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I listened quite critically to your 40M signal Saturday night. After EU SR and before the Asia/Pacific stuff got really rolling I had some time on my hands. Anyway, K9ABC had one of the BEST sounding signals I've ever heard. Very crisp, no clicks, etc. I was able to listen with my K3 right up close on both sides of your signal without even having to crank the filters in tight. That's much more than I can say for other signals on the band. You've got everything dialed in just right! **** On 2/20/2012 11:48 AM, Ken wrote: > I know people say that the K3 has a very good CW signal but I was blown away > this morning on a 20m contact this morning when, right after the 579 signal > report, the op said "UR RIG HAS VY CLEAN NOTE SOUNDS LIKE A K3" on the > opening exchange!
