With an Elecraft radio, you can do some surprising things.
In a contest, I can operate close to high power stations that
have a clean signal, yet
to be even
better.
Good luck and 73

I contest therefore I am..that aside. You should always get the
best rig available. A lot of the complaints I get from non-contest
types is you are too close. If you get a great rig for contesting it
should be EXCELLENT for casual operating since you won't be using it in
nearly the harsh
Steve, the reason there is so much talk about the K3
and contests is because contesting is a big test of a
receiver with the need to operate with very strong
signals at nearby frequencies and lots of QRM. Not
all radios can stand up to this kind of test, but the
K3 is reportedly the best there is.

Steve, I probably am the biggest "putz" operator/owner of a K3 there
is. I am not into contest or DX'ing. I
Hi Steve:
I'm a 99% CW operator who generally ducks contests to play on the WARC ands
while the "radiosporters" do their thing.
I've managed perhaps a dozen QSOs on my K3 in between tearing it to bits as
needed to work on the assembly manuals.
In that short time I've found the K3 a rag-chewer'
Steve,
Speaking for myself, as a 'mostly' non-contestor, I certainly believe that a
K3 can be fully utilized and enjoyed by the general, but discriminating,
operator. I have only had mine running for less than a week now, but I
marvel at it every time I turn it on. My usage is mainly CW, but I
K3 will be used for mostly HF cw contacts. and primarily for 6 meter dxing.

Steve,
I will be using the K3 for pretty much only CW and SWL. Perhaps a
little PSK.
I like some small CW contests, but am not a contester by any means.
I'll be sticking with the 10 watt version; my K2 has shown that that
is sufficient power for me. Will also only have a very basic filter
set.
I have only used it in RX since it arrived - it is a great receiver, a
pleasure to use.

My personal preference is to buy the best receiver you can afford no
matter what your operating preference is. The K3 is it.
Ducie island is going to be a good test of the K3.
