Hi Rusty,
Well, it doesn't have to be that bad. It depends on what you do until you
get a K3. First congrats on getting your Extra. That's quite an
accomplishment. But there is still a lot of other things that you can do
for a minimal investment now. Things that can help to build up your
operating skills so that when you get that K3, you will be able to utilize
it much more effectively and therefore obtain more enjoyment from it.
True, the K3 will be the best thing around but you can get on HF for less
than $100 now. Get an SW40+, or a used AT3 and get on the air. A KX1 can
keep you busy for many months. Did you learn CW on your way to obtaining
your Extra class license? If not then that's what you absolutely must do
now. Maybe not getting a K3 right away is going to turn out to be the best
way for you.
So just get on the air and have fun, and before you know it the waiting time
for a K3 will be only the time spent to ship it.
72.
Steve, W2MY
