Re: [Elecraft] TX5K joy

2013-03-05 Thread wa5pok
I have worked Clipperton many times over the years but this morning my K3 
brought me TX5K joy! Using my stealth antenna at my apartment in Tampa, I 
used my paddle and made my first ever RTTY QSO and it was with TK5K. Yeah, 
that was fun!


73, Mike

[Elecraft] TX5K joy

2013-03-04 Thread Don Putnick
I logged them last night on 10M SSB with a K3/KPA500/KAT500 combo into a N6BT 
vertical. I feel the pull of DXing - resistance is futile!

I don't have a lot of time lately for the hobby, but was able to work them from 
San Diego in about 30 minutes on four bands, phone, 40,20,1712. Hope to get 
them on CW on 80160.

Re: [Elecraft] TX5K joy

2013-03-04 Thread N5XL
After some careful listening to the CW pileup and jumping in several times
when I thought it was the right time, my signal was finally copied on 17
meters and I got my callsign into the TX5K logbook!  Needless to say, I was
quite thrilled!  

Now if the pileup only knew I was running 5 watts from a KX3 to a loop
antenna to make the contact... 

The KX3 continues to impress.  Thanks Eric / Wayne / et al at Elecraft for a
heck of a portable radio!
