Since becoming licensed in 1967 I have always had better than average antennas with ample power. Since I have become older (now 80) my wife and I have downsized and I now longer have a location suitable for a large antenna system and have had to resort to a vertical. At first I thought that was a bad thing. Then I ran across a used KX3 and after having used it for a short while I have again discovered the anxiety and joy of making a contact with 12 watts. I have discovered a lot of being able to work the station is technique rather than brute power. Yes, high power will work but lacks the true joy is found when you can log the contact using a tin cup and a wet string.
