[Elecraft] Improving the station while waiting for the K3

[Jay Schwisow]

Josh,

There has been basic shack reorganization and I am staying involved in 
the contests with the K2.  However, my big project was the construction 
of a 3 element 30 meter beam on a 34 foot boom.     I used parts 
acquired from an estate and modeled it with Yagi W.  I  just finished 
the testing today (at 40 feet)  and the mono bander is 1.3 to 1 or less 
in the band.  A friend of mine and I  nick named it the "droopy 30" 
since the 600" reflector droops about 4 feet from center.

Next step is to complete the tower for this one.  This project, the 160m 
and 10m contest still in play while waiting for the K3.

I'm also working on getting a functional 160m vertical on the air. Also checking out the other antennas before winter sets in too hard ( might be too late in some areas) and getting the shack a little cleaned up. A KRC2 is on the way to handle switching the antennas with some real nice coaxial relays from Motorola MTR2000 stations.
