[Elecraft] One more K3 Testimony

[WILLIS COOKE]

Hector, I asked Chuck for his rundown.  Here is his answer.

Hi Cookie, you did not bother me at all during the contest.  I was using an Icom 756PROIII with a Tentec Titan (the first version).  On transmit, I shunt fed the 135' tower with a 70' gamma match made from old coax and a couple of capacitors.  I used 2 elevated radials in opposite directions which I put in place and then trimmed for resonance by feeding each of them separately against ground.  Receive was 4 Beverages.  I think I will play some on 160 next weekend, but will still do 10 meters.

>In the CQ WW 160 SSB my friend Chuck, W5PR and I were both operating the contest.  Chuck has a very good antenna system and near max legal power.  His signal runs about 50 over S9 at my QTH.  I endeavored to see how close to Chuck's run frequency I could work a station.  I was able to work an S9 signal 2.5 Khz below Chuck's run freq.  More than 3 KHZ above or below, I could not tell when Chuck transmitted.  Bravo for the K3 and Bravo for Chuck and his extremely clean transmitter!
