Once you have a reasonably loud signal and an antenna that allows you to
hear the DX, the most important attribute of a DX-oriented station is
agility. You can tune the bands and when you hear something you need to
be able to jump on it instantly. Get him before he's spotted and the
pileup builds up. That's where the no-warmup, no-tuning KPA500 helps.
Once the pileup is going, you need to find the stations the DX is
working and figure out the operator's pattern. That's where the
subreceiver and the P3 are useful.

I have worked both S Sandwich and S. Georgia Islands on 4 bands and CW and
SSB for ATNOs, # 343 and 344 for my DXCC credits. When I sold my Alpha 374
3 holer amp and purchased the KPA 500 I was somewhat concerned about the
pwr output difference. However I have worked probably 15 ATNOs since the
switch and have NOT missed working any station that I have wanted to work.
The P3 w/SVGA added is a great tool, particulary on CW, looking for a hole
to call in when the DX is listening 5 to 20 Kcs up...
