[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,    Both twenty and forty meters had noise with moderate QSB.  WES contesters were active on twenty meters so I moved down 1 kHz.  I was S3 to S5 to those who found me.  On forty meters there were few other signals when I chose a frequency.  Similar to last week, propagation

I supposed in any lengthy marriage a selective ear or a biological mute button, so to speak, becomes inevitable ...or so it would appear with my aging K3, purchased in 2009. Here are the rather perplexing symptoms: After the K3 has been on a while all signals and noise disappear.

Last FD we ran 4 FTDX10s. No interstation interference with them being 8 feet from each other in a straight line. All antennas were within 100 feet of each other. 2 cw stations and 2 phone stations had no problems. We did not run CW and Phone on the same band at the same time, but had no problems

I've got a KX3 and an IC-7300. The 7300 uses a moderately clacky relay for T/R switching but something silent (to my ears) for sending CW while the relay is in the T position. If you expect the basically instant and completely silent QSK of the KX3, you'll be disappointed. If you don't mind

One of the most important characteristics of a radio for FD is its ability to play well with others. I have heard that the IC7300 does not. The low cost Kenwood radios have, in general, been second best to the K3 and KX3 in that regard. Deficiencies of the Icom and Yaesu rigs are lots of
