Snip

My K3 behaved better than expected, I had no problem at all pulling out from
a very crowded band and close to the big guns weak stations with signals of
55 to 57,I used all the time my roofer of 2.1

End snip

 

Like Hector I enjoy contesting. Due to CC&R's, I'm limited to a stealth wire
antenna and barefoot operation, but it's still great fun.

Having participated in the California QSO party since 2003 here are my
results with different rigs:

 

2003-----Jupiter-------13,840 points

2004-----Jupiter-------11,280 points

2005-----Orion-1------10,944 points

2006-----Orion-1------14,460 points

2007-----Orion-1------25,476 points

2008-----OMNI-VII----23,647 points

2009-----K3-------------44,600 points

 

Past rigs were actually very good, however the K3 is outstanding! It has
re-motivated a lot of Hams.

 

Thanks and good luck on your new digs Elecraft.
