Bill, I more than doubled last year's score without doubling QSOs, which means that I had a greater percentage of non-US QSOs. I originally attributed this to improved conditions and was surprised to hear from other "nearby" stations that conditions for them were not as good as last year.
I had completely forgotten that this was my first CQ WW 160 with the K3, but I do remember marvelling during the contest at my ability to hear and work EU and near-AS stations that were calling "underneath" US/VE stations. This is even more amazing since I use the same, omnidirectional antenna for both TX and RX. -- 73 -- Brian -- K1LI On Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 10:56 AM, Bill W4ZV <btipp...@alum.mit.edu> wrote: > > If you want some interesting reading, go to the link below and use Edit > > Find "space K3 space" in your web browser.
