[Elecraft] K5D on my K3/10 and 80m inverted vee

[Matt Zilmer]

Randy, it just keeps getting better and better.  Even this lousy
sunspot season can't keep the K3 down.

Was unable to sleep after about 2 AM this morning.  Decided to see
what early-morning activity was up.  Tuned around 3523 and there's
K5D!  QSX up with the KRX3, and there's all his callers!  Third try
got him, and it would've taken a lot longer without the KRX3.

There were some Big Guns in this spread-out pileup!  My little K3 at
25 Watts and a wire antenna sure showed them who's boss!  
:)

73,
