Also had a great time giving my KX3 its first taste of a "real" contest in the CW SS. I made 388 Qs operating about 20 hours or so. Missed the clean sweep by one section. I was bummed because I'd had no idea I could get that close and should have spent more effort on sections early in the contest.
I did enjoy working all 50 states in less than a day at 5 watts out though. The rig did really well. I had N1MM logging and sending. I could use the KX3's paddle for fills and have the end panel key jack set up for hand key so N1MM could key via that port. Slick. I should have done the "per-band" filter adjustment since I did hear some opposite sideband among all the super strong signals. At the end I realized I had just about zero "listener fatigue" from radio noise, artifacts, etc. A pretty subjective observation, but it did seem to jump out at me that my ears weren't ringing. 73- Nick, WA5BDU TU NR 389Q WA5BDU CK 62 AR On 11/6/2012 8:54 PM, Tim Groat wrote: > Mine performed very well: 305 QSOs and 72 sections for 10 hours of > operating time, using my HF6V vertical antenna.
