[Elecraft] K3/s in ARRL CW Test?

[GW0ETF]

My K3 #145 was used casually in ARRL DX this weekend. One thing that really
impressed me was when an extremely strong carrier appeared on top of K1TTT
just as I was about to call - and stayed there. I turned on the manual notch
and tuned it onto the carrier and lo and behold K1TTT re-appeared and was
worked. Obviously not *exactly* on the same frequency but near enough to
prevent any copy even with the 250Hz   roofing filter in and DSP right down
to 50Hz; the notch on the K3 is so sharp it's almost unbelievable.

73,
