Re: [Elecraft] 6M CW

2010-07-06 Thread David leDuc
I know this is not a 6 meter discussion group but I do have a K3. I am hearing a lot of people on 6 meters working DX which I cannot hear, also calling CQDX. I am wondering what kind of antennas you are using? I am using a 3 element SteppIr and am in FN42 Dave N1IX

[Elecraft] K3 repair

2010-07-01 Thread David leDuc
I sent my K3 to Elecraft in California after I and tried and failed to fix the problem using Elecraft's support process. I finally called them after hearing nothing for over a week. The nice lady who answered the phone told me that the radio wouldn't even be put on the repair bench for at least

I was a radioman in the Navy back in the late 60's. We copied 5 character groups so there was very little comprehension. I was totally immersed in CW during radioman school and at the end of 6 months could copy 26 WPM. I was the top man in the class but got beat out for first place by a WAVE. I
