Re: [Elecraft] Reminder: One of the biggest CW contests of the year is happening now

You are right Wayne! The CW 20Meter band conditions are great. A few minutes running the contest with a KX3/KPA100 into a Cobweb on a portable tripod off my back porch, I was able to log Brazil, New Zealand, Serbia, and Czech Republic. There is a bit of warbling going over the pole from my

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

Hello Kevin; Just saying thanks and I agree the QSB was crazy!!! I am wondering if you or others have tried to use APF on the Elecraft radio to pull out weaker CW signals from the noise. I've tried it a few times on my KX3 but wonder if I am setting it up correctly. I'm not sure it would have

Re: [Elecraft] New antenna works!

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report
