Yesterday, I asked people on the reflector what to do on six meters as I just put up a 3-element beam at 25 feet with a TV rotator by noon. Well, I guess you could call it serendipity, but yesterday there was a good opening on 6 meters after about 2200 hours till about 0300 hours. Most of it

[Elecraft] WJST and the K3

OK I got the 6 meter bug...as you all know by now I have been trying to set up WJST for the K3. Can anyone send me some information as to how to do this? I am under the impression that it needs to be on SSB - but can't find information on which sideband. How do you key the rig on

[Elecraft] K3 Repair

I must say it did take some time for them to get to my K3. I sent it to Aptos around May 12th and got it back on June 30th. Yes, that was quite a bit of time, but I expected that because who knows what kind of back log they have. They do not publish those stats. I guess as I turned 60

[Elecraft] 6 meters Newbie

Just got up my three element 6 meter beam at about 25 feet.  I know it is not high.  Could someone tell me a good web site to access to learn more about 6 meters?  Watch for openings?  Etc.  Also, is the pre-amp a good investment if I am going to do more 6 meters Lee - K0WA Ham Radio

[Elecraft] Service By Elecraft - 2nd the motion

We do live in amazing times. I sent my K3 off to have it repaired and modified. The work done was excellent by Dale Farmer and the K3 came out of Aptos with the old serial number but a new radio. The trouble was an encoder had quit working and that cause half the buttons to quit too.
