[Elecraft] K5ZD on K3

[lstavenhagen]

Heck, even my K2 has reawakened my interest in contesting. I did a little bit
of hunting/pecking in CW contests back when I was in college. The club
station (W5EHM at UT Austin) had a TS-830 and a huge tribander on top of the
engineering building and I'd make quite a few QSO's from there.

After that, I've tried it with my 706MKIIG with my own ants and it's just a
tragedy of desense and IMD, so I kind of lost interest in contesting, at
least on my own.

During the recent CW DX contest, tho, I was just stunned and amazed with my
K2's RX as I was able to crawl right inside the holes here and there in
between the big run freqs and find all kinds of faint stations. XFIL was all
I needed to get rid of them completely hi hi.

I even worked two stations (a P40 and a KH6) on 15 meters with my indoor ant
and 10 watts.

So I'm probably going to try to get back into contesting, even working those
2 stations was quite a thrill....

But as for the rig, I can only imagine the "wall" you can have with the K3,
even as good as it is with my K2!
