I don't know how unique this is but I actually had a QSO with KK7P during SS this weekend. Needless to say I was shocked! At first I thought someone was hijacking his callsign. Lyle doesn't do contests. But I recognized the voice and was soon put at ease. Then I wondered if Lyle was operating with his radio laid out on his work bench in pieces...connected by a gaggle of jumper wires, or if he actually had it all put back together. No...I'm pretty sure it was in pieces. :)
Thanks for the Q Lyle! As usual the K3 did great! While I can't yet keep up with the likes of K5WA...I just can't get use to SO2R having to listen to different voices in each ear at the same time. I have enough voices in my head to listen to without the headphones. But I did get just short of 1100 contacts and got the sweep too. Puerto Rico was the last nail in the coffin. I did use the second radio for tuning around on other bands for multipliers and that's how I found NWT and PR. Thanks to Joe, W4TV and John, K3CT, the new IS filter codes for N1MM made it easy for switching from user-set wide to narrow filters where you can also specify the filter FC. Once I had the K3 dialed in there was not much to do with its controls except for the RIT and an occaisional use of AGC controls when working a weak station aside from tuning the second radio listening for multipliers. ------------------------- 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
