It's the first word that comes to mind when I think about my past week as W1AW/1 and my trusty K3's performance. As you might imagine, being W1AW/1 on any band really attracts attention, far more that if I were just CQing as W1RM (:->). This means some big pileups, and some incredibly weak signals along with the very strong ones.
Well the K3 was up to the job! I was able to hear much weaker signals with my K3 than I might have with any other rig I've owned. Of course there's not much you can do with 5 guys all jammed on top of each other calling but turning the AGC off and using a narrow filter (I have the 250 Hz filters) really helps. I hope I was able to make a bunch of guys happy with a contact (I operated 160-10, all CW except for a few RTTY in the last 20 minutes of the time W1AW/1 was on). Hats off to the team at Elecraft for a truly fantastic rig!
