Roger, Same thing happened here. I also have an 80 meter inverted V and sat there it seemed like eternity last nite waiting while he was working europe. Gave up and went to bed and got up this morning at 5:30 PST and worked him first call He was so strong that I turned the RF gain way down on my K3 and it was sweet arm chair copy. Banging in over 9 here. Didnt need the amp, just 100 watts with the K3. My noise level has been pretty high on 80 meters lately from our power lines but the superb NB NR on the K3 knocks it down to below the band noise level, Love my K3 !!
