[ADXA] HK3 on 17 meters!

[Dennis Schaefer]

OK, nothing to get excited about, but I have come up with a solution to my
BIC (Butt in Chair) problem and it might be working.  I decided that I was
going to work at least ONE new band counter every day, no matter what.  I
started this on Sept 19.  So far, I've worked 38 potential new band
counters.  Some were duplicates, but at the time I worked them, they were
not verified.  DXpeditions help some, but today, I was busy and the
expeditions didn't seem to be on bands where I needed them.   This evening,
I worked an HK3 on 17 meters for a potential new one.

This will get harder as I get the more common  and active ones out of the
way, but with barely over 1200 Challenge points, there are plenty of new
ones out there.

I picked up another Kenwood TS-590S that had been used by an unlicensed
operator in town.  I worked 5X3K on the first call on 10 and 12 meter SSB
without turning on the amp.  Must be some kind of CB magic audio
modification.  I seem to sound OK, though.

I've listened for 5X3K on 40M CW several times but he is too weak.  I'm not
sure why, I normally hear that area fine on 40.  For Challenge points, I
worked them on a different mode.

73,
