NQ4I uses all Ten-Tec Orions (well, there’s one FT-1000MP on the 160m station) 
in his station. They have tried the K3, once on the 160m station, and once on 
one of the 15m stations.

The 15m rig ended the contest broken — apparently fried the front-end from all 
the ambient RF.

The Orions are OK. I really like the sound of the K3 way better.
