[Elecraft] 500 kHz Receive Operation With the KX1

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

It's great they're keeping it alive for newer Hams and radio buffs in
general. Be sure to drop RD an e-mail saying you appreciate it and don't
miss their regular ongoing RTTY/CW broadcasts on MF and HF. It's nice with
the K3, sitting back and watching the news scroll by on the display in RTTY
decode, Hi! 

I worked them many times on MF from ships around San Francisco and visited
the station often when it was in full operation. Been there once for the
"night of nights" event the radiomarine gang hold each year. 

A lifelong friend of mine is "LR", the guy in the top picture at:

Notice the cable clamp (no kidding!) on his bug to keep the speed under
control. Les (K6ETY) is an SK now and his widow passed that key onto me.
Works FB on all the Elecraft rigs ;-)

This may be old to you old-timers, but I find this fascinating.
