Let me be the first to congratulate "a fellow" on his choice of competitive hardware!
Damn, what sage advice! Yes, a wise choice! Please, all you PVRC, YCCC and FRC members! Dont *EVEN* consider an Elecraft K3 for your contesting use and stay with your FT1000'ds, your Pro-2's, your TS940's and your superlative IC-781's for competing with your poor southern cousins in FCG, especially during ARRL 10 Meters, SS and WPX. For that matter, I strongly urge that *ALL* PVRC, YCCC and FRC members switch *IMMEDIATELY* to the above rigs and sell ALL of their K3 rigs to either DX stations or to NCCC or Mad River members (maybe *THEN* they will then be able to hear us from Florida). We might even allow you an additional couple of hundred dollars above a used price to help you get rid of those K3's as a "hardship" stipend so you can get those above mentioned "high performance" rigs to work the WPX piles with. Im sure my fellow FGC members would be happy to help take those badly performing, hard to operate silly looking Elecraft rigs off your hands immediately... Its the least we can do for you! Southern Hospitality *REQUIRES* us to be this nice to you! Then, take the money and go out and buy some TS-570's with the stock SSB filter and use them on CW in the next IARU, Please???? Lu - W4LT Spotting you additional "difficulty factors" in contests operating K3 #3192 Go FGC! - OJ's!

Even some of our mumble-grump skeptics went to K3's because they got their **s handed to them in a sling on the low bands when the competition started using K3 true diversity.
