In a world of bragging, this is all nothing....
Last Sunday morning, I took my KX3 out. The antenna was thin wire attached
to a 23 ft fiberglass pole (2 ft collapsed, weight < 1 lb) and one 15 ft
counterpoise. VK5HC was CQing at 579 on 30m. Many stations could not hear
him. I attached an external Li-Ion battery for 12W out, but KX3 complained
of > 16V, and I forgot a voltage reducer. KX3 was also shutting down with
internal NiMH battery at 5W but functioned at 3W. Got 419. He had KX3 as
well.
It helped to be on a pier over salt water in Tybee Island, GA.
