Despite the SSB contest this weekend, there were several stations on the
net. Conditions were helped by the change to British Summer Time,
although with a little continental QRM at times.

Subjects this week included:

One station had a PLL problem with his K3 under high temperature
operation, there is a modification sheet on the Elecraft web site which
matches the symptoms and hopefully will fix the problem.

The Norbrek (Blackpool) Rally and potential car parking problems (there
is apparently a marathon along the Promenade on the same morning).

The ATU tune problem with SSB and the later firmware (3.04) didn't seem
to impact any of the group as the one station using the internal ATU
still used older firmware (2.82 I think).

Linear amplifier configurations, including the attenuator in the Acom 1000.

Modifications and earlier K3s

Stations were:

G0MJW, Mike
G3UCA, Peter
G4DQP, Vince
GW0SYN, John
M0CKE, Jim

73 until next week.
Dave, G4AON
K3/100 #80, f/w 3.04, Acom 1000
