I operated 1E, CW only, casually from home and found this to be true at my QTH.
It may have also been due to better filtering in the K3.  On 20m there were a
lot of stations very close together, but I had no trouble picking the ones I
wanted to work.

I used hunt and pounce almost exclusively.

#806 100w with half slopers for 80m/40m, vertical GP for 30m, 4 element Yagi Uda
for HF and 3 element Yagi Uda for 6m.

No big score here.  Interrupted frequently by offspring marriage activities. ;O)
