[Elecraft] K3 234 and 752 in SS CW

[Bob Evans]

I had a ball in SS CW this past weekend.  The K3s are connected with an MK2R
and I use N1MM software in full SO2R mode.  I had 1260 Qs and 80 sections
over 24 hours in the SOHP category.  HP for me is 750W from my old
Clipperton-Ls until the KPA-1500 comes out ( soon, I hope? hint hint  ;-)  )
I had no glitches from the K3s and was actually more relaxed and rested than
I had ever been after an SS adventure.  I used the AFX on both rigs and I
think it really helped the fatigue factor.  There were very few stations
that I had to work hard to pull through and QRP stations were noticeably
higher in count that I remember from years past.  My biggest thrill was
having a VE4 and a VE8 call me consecutively at about 5 PM local on Sunday.
I had completely given up on getting a sweep this year, so when my last 2
sections popped up as I was CQing, that made my contest right there.   

 

I hope I worked you!  See you during the SSB weekend.

 

73,

Bob K5WA
