My local club decided to call off their FD plans, due to the bad WX in
our area. They were going to use a new site, which is located on
elevated ground... normally a good thing. But the possibility of
lightning was in the forecast, so perhaps discretion was the better
call.
So, I set up with my KX3 and an AlexLoop, and made a few dozen
contacts. I had some family obligations over the weekend, so I didn't
spend too much time on the air. Nevertheless, the KX3 made a fine
showing. I have a suspicion that quite a few of the stations I worked
were using K3s. I say that because those were stations that were
running, and when I would zero beat their frequency, I'd usually have
them respond to my -single- call. We wrap up the QSO in fifteen
seconds of so. Took me more time to make the log entry than the
QSO. :)
That tells me that the other guys had no problems fending off QRM,
especially at multiple transmitter sites.
I worked only CW on 40 and 20, with the KX3 at 5 watts. The KX3 made
a fine showing. It seemed almost too easy.
