[Elecraft] Super K3

[Dick Dievendorff]

I had a similar experience at W7RN when running EU. Things improved  
when I turned the RF gain down, AF gain up, AFC off, audio limiter set  
well below the threshold of pain. The AGC was tending to make all the  
signals the same level. Turning it off helped me a bunch. For most of  
the contest I left it on, I just turned it off during the run periods  
when there were enough callers that I was having trouble quickly  
pulling out one complete call at a time.

Nice problem to have. I spent a good part of the contest turning the  
knob or CQing for the few stations we could find that were new.

I had a blast. We used K3s with two 4 square RX antenna arrays and K3  
diversity. 160 was magic for us.
