[Elecraft] k3 observed in SS

2007-11-04 Thread cloud runner
Worked two known K3's in the sweepstakes.

i heard MANY loud signals with nasty clicks or nasty phase noise.  I have a 
pretty good idea what kind of radios I was listeing to.

the two K3's i know I worked were in the hands of N6XI and K2VCO.  both were 
loud here.  and both were delightefully clean.  the cleanest radios on the band.

That's a joy to observe

I worked both N6XI and K2VCO with my K3. I didn't know they were running
K3's, but that would explain the vortex of K3 mojo that formed around my
antenna during those QSO's.

K3 #27 was also in the SS CW to the tune of 546 QSOs.

I'll post more later, but very briefly: I am totally blown away by the K3.

There was a point where I had to separate one signal from another maybe 200Hz or 300Hz away, and 
call and work him. And I just turned a knob and the other signal went away*. And I worked the 
desired station like it was almost nothing. Damn.


I have never operated a radio that was so easy to tune and isolate a signal. You just center it, and 
crank down the width, and there it is. Damn.

*OK, there were some clicks - but they didn't matter! For reference, I have the 8-pole 400Hz and 
250Hz filters installed.
