My first posting to this group,  (which I have been reading for some weeks)
May I add a comment or two?

The QSO party an excellent idea, but I have to comment on someone
suggestions of times, 00000z  to 2400z   such figures are confusing
especially when  big time shifts like our 15 hours/ with USA etc.   Days are
irrelevant,  but Dates matter.  so start time should be 0001z    on   X Date
  and finish should be 2359z on X date .
               Sorry folks just one of my little gripes............. (Grumpy
old Man....).

All I wish for is that my K3 which was first fired up after the kit build
about 3rd Nov,    will eventually sprint into life.
It has worked, sort of, but constant problems have beset it and the mails
from me to Elecraft are flowing thick and fast.
Having said that, they are doing their best, with helping advice,  but
nearly 3 months  of frustration only goes to show the degree of patience I
have !!
