[Elecraft] VP6DX and K3

Mark and all,

I've worked them on all modes from 15 through 40 meters 
except RTTY on 17.  Guess I didn't know they were doing RTTY 
on that band.  I'll have to give that more attention as 
their signal of 17 has generally been outstanding.

Unfortunately I've not been able to hear them on 12 meters, 
and only heard them once (but very weak) on 10 meters.  No 
antennas here for 80 or 160 I'm sorry to say.  I don't think 
they will be on much longer, so may try to rig up something 
for 80 meters this weekend at least.  My R8 vertical will 
actually load up on 80 meters, thanks to the apparently wide 
range of the K3's ATU, but obviously the antenna sucks on 
that band nevertheless.  I've manged to work a few friends 
in nearby states doing that, but not much else.  Obviously 
you have a little more mojo in whatever antenna you are 
using!  Hi.

With my K3 I have worked VP6DX on all HF bands 160m to
10m SSB and CW. RTTY on 30m and 17m without computer.
Total 20 QSO's. FB expedition and outstanding K3.
I'm sure that there are more operators with K3 that
did the same thing.
