[Elecraft] K3 and CQWW

I operate in CQ WW casually AB mostly S&P. I enjoy a run, if possible,
usually on 15 or 10m as 20m was too crowded and my 2-el quad too low.

Last Sunday my Mark V Field was replaced by K3 built on Saturday.
Interfacing by USB/serial converter with N1MM took no time. 

In the morning I found a clear frequency around 14004.5, next to K3LR. The
EU started calling and in 1 hr I made some 150 QSOs. More would have been
possible if I was proficient with K3 controls.  There were some attempts on
my frequency but small BW adjustments took care of them.   

K3 takes contesting to a new level. Clear instead of muddy signals, sharp
(but not too sharp) variable filters, excellent AGC and smooth rx/tx
switching (no pops). A joy to operate.
