[Elecraft] K3 IF/AF Dsp questions (comparisons)

[Mark]

There is never ever any moment during a contest, with the exception of 
the first/last half hour on high band openings/closing, where the rx 
signals drop below S9.
If not, you're antenna situation really sucks big-time. Go visit a 
contest station sometime and find out.

The signal report  during contests is useless unless you would state 
your exact location, terrain environment, antenna type and height, AND 
have a calibrated s-meter.
 
During a normal qso things (just) might be totally different and so is 
your goal.
Let's stop the ever lasting "59 in contests" discussion.
