Eric,
Many thanks for the information. I take it from what you say that you did
not have any + or - equalisation settings. The audio sounded good and
punchy, backed up by very good signal strength whenever I heard you. I too
have had good results with the HC5 but have only had my K3 running for about
a month so am still experimenting. Currently I am using the HC4 with
settings that I think Bill W5WVO might find a bit "ugly" but my main amateur
radio activity is chasing ssb dx on 80m so for me maybe a bit of ugly is no
bad thing! ;-) Anyway experiments continue.
Many congratulations on a very successful expedition at Ducie, Eric. It came
over as a smooth and professional operation that has set a high standard for
others to follow. And I do not underestimate the tremendous amount of hard
work and planning put in by you and the team to achieve those results.
Perhaps I can add my thanks to the many others you have no doubt received,
especially in my case for the new country on 80m.
73 to all

Subject: Mic for K3
Hi Geoff --
We used Heil HC-5 mic elements (the so-called "full range" element, not
the "DX operation" element). Mic gain and compression were both set at
15.
A few operators were caught fidgeting with the mic/compression settings,
but we tried to discourage changes to these settings.

Re VP6DX - they do sound good. Anyone know what mics and settings they
are using?
