I live in a very small condo village. Sunday during WPX I ran across a monster strong signal which I determined to be a visitor to the area from the signal level. Due to the layout of our neighborhood (small lots), he was essentially in my back yard running 50 watts portable, although I could not see him or his setup.
I looked up his call on qrz.com, emailed his home address, and mentioned I was hearing him somewhere VERY close by but not to worry because K3 was not breaking a sweat. He emailed back that he was visiting his son and included his nearby location. He said he was very interested in K3 so I offered him over for a "K3 experience". He stopped by after brunch and I think he enjoyed it very much. I can imagine what he was hearing on his end with the portable setup (FT897) when I went to transmit. ??? Of course he was very impressed with K3 and all the fun things it would do, I just wish I could have shown him how well behaved it was even with his transmitter running on the same band - 500 feet away. They say fences make good neighbors, I say for hams that K3's make the best neighbors. ;-) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
