[Elecraft] 3B7 -- only because of the K3!

I just worked 3B7C on 40 meters, with 100 watts and 40 foot high 
inverted V. Here is how the K3 made it possible:

1) I tuned in the 3B7, using 50 Hz bandwidth, and a slow tuning rate. He 
was pretty weak.

2) I pressed BSET and set up VFO B for a faster tuning rate and a 2 KHz 
bandwidth.

3) The DX station was on 7.002 and working stations around 7.027. The 
pileup was very big, and I'll bet that a lot of the callers were using 
serious QRO.

4) Whenever 3B7C called someone, I pressed REV to instantly switch VFOs. 
The wide bandwidth and fast tuning rate on VFO B made it easy to find 
the guy he was working. *Every* one of my calls was on target! It only 
took about 5 minutes before I got him.
