I've run into a minor glitch in the assembly of K3 #379.  I made it 
up to the point of doing the 5W Transmitter Gain calibration without 
a problem.  That went fine on every band but 60M, there I get no more 
than 0.4W and a ERR TxG message when I exit Tune.  The installation 
of the 100W amp and the final steps are on hold until I hear back 
from K3support which means using the K3 in the ARRL CW contest this 
weekend is very much in doubt.

On the other hand, while waiting for a reply I snagged VP6DX on 17M 
at about 22:55Z with my trusty K2 for my first QSO with them.
