Although smaller than most of the other dxpeditions, our trip to Tiree
(Inner Hebrides, MS0WRC) last October used 4 K3's (all owned by team
members) and one FT2K. We made 12500 Q's in the week on SSB and CW and
continually got unsolicited complimentary audio reports from them. There

The K3 is a fabulous dxpedition radio, we only had one KPA500 and that was
on the CW station. That is one very boring amplifier, it just sat in the

underneath the operating table about 4 feet away. It was about 3 am and

Surprised the lack of comments on this subject, unless I missed it. I do want
to thank the Elecraft gang for their support of the HK0NA operation. I have
been a ham for 57yrs and had NEVER chased a single HF DXpedition, but I got the
bug with this one. What an amazing performance by the
Thanks for noticing, Bill :) The HK0NA crew certainly did a great job,
as have other recent DXpeditions using K3s, etc.
DXpedition use of our gear has been a source of input and inspiration
for us, and we provide a lot of support to the teams. Many hardware

I was especially impressed by the prompt response of Elecraft
yesterday to the ham who is in Togo with damaged gear.
Actions like that speak louder than words.
Congratulations.

Yes, and more DXPeditions would be using K3s if the JA companies didn't
have deeper pockets than Elecraft. Think about the cost of

VP6T and TN2T set the standard when it comes to handling logs and
confirmations. Unlike HK0NA who appear to have lost significant
sections of their logs, VP6T had *confirmations* on Logbook of the

Ah yes, sad but true, Joe. I forgot about that
It is a bummer that with my work and travel schedule they lost one of my five
contacts with them but oh well life goes on. Maybe I will get lucky and they

Funny about TN2T because about two hours after I paid for the QSL card handling
I received the LOTW confirms. Now I will
