That would be Ulrich, N2DE, KX3, Begali Adventure, & his baby, the Begali CW Machine. A combo very hard to beat. 73 Mike KD8RQE In a message dated 2/6/2014 8:05:48 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
FYI - if any Listers here happened to work 3DA0US in the last couple of days, you might be interested to learn that he was running a KX3 at between 5 and 10 watts depending upon his DC input level. His antenna was a PAR Omni Angle on a 22 foot fiberglass pole. He made 400 contacts in two days of operating and he was only on a few hours each day. In a couple of weeks he'll be operating as 7P8US with the same rig and antenna. The PAR Omni Angle is only a 7 foot aluminum rectangle with a matching network and it only weighs a couple of pounds. Most hams would probably dub the Par Omni Angle a "suboptimal" or "compromise" antenna. A well versed operator, knowledge of propagation, patience, preparation, perseverance and top shelf equipment goes a long way to offset the handicap of a "compromise" antenna. 73, Stan WB2LQF ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
