I managed to get Baker Island in the log on 15-80 meters on FT8 (it took BOTH the KAT500 and KAT3 for 60m, but that's another story). I had filled some other slots, too. What I really wanted was 40 CW, my favorite band from my Novice days in the the 70s. I camped out on 7023 for hours, sometimes nearly all night. I just couldn't quite hear them well enough on my vertical to call. Then last night, around 2:30 am PDT, I heard them coming up. I tried every cw filter width, in between, nothing quite worked. Then I remembered way back when Wayne had announced the new APF feature for the K3-- I had never used it, but I remembered the raves about it. I punched up APF, and BANG I could hear them! Some calls later, they were in the log. They went QRT around 5am PDT. Damn. That was fun. 73 Eric WD6DBM
