[Elecraft] My beautiful KX1

[Alan Beck]

Hi,

Last night I worked KZ8G for the second time. He was very strong and 
hearing me 579. Mind you I was using a 20 meter vertical at 40 feet.

I was running 1.5 watts. He had never worked someone before at that 
power output.

I realized there is one element that was making the QSO work.

It was the regular, clean pulsing CW of the keyer. This promotes clarity 
to the point where you can be using "mice nuts" for the output power but 
still be more intelligible than other people.

Elecraft!! if you ever wish to consider an easy upgrade to your rigs, 
work on improving the keyer, like adding or reducing weighting so 
operators can send cleaner CW and therefore be heard better in the noise.

73 and thanks so much, I am having fun.

Alan
