Their choice of the K3 for their operating rigs kinda sez it all.

Re: [Elecraft] six K3's at 7O6T

Thanks to their location 9,000 miles from me with a beam heading of 2.4 degrees (through the aurora), a QSO requires great propagation, great antennas, and great ops on both ends, you've got to be there during the hour or so each day when there's propagation on any given band, AND you've got to get through the wall of east coast stations who are 20 dB stronger and the EU stations who are 30 dB stronger. Every time I've heard this team there's been a great operator at the other end. I've managed to work them twice, on 17M CW and 20M CW. So far, the only time I've not heard them on SSB well enough to call was for a half hour on 15M, and the op was working JA (and making great rate). By the time he listened for US, propagation was gone. 73, Jim K9YC __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Tony, I actually heard you work them last night (or was it the night before?). Congrats! John AE5X http://www.ae5x.com/blog all.
