[Elecraft] Buryflex all the way to K3?

[Jim Miller]

Thanks all! My K3/10 is almost always running at 5w CW.

I'm really surprised and grateful for the great ears and enormous patience
DXers have shown responding to my puny signal.

I did note that the 70ft run to my dipole via RG213 was right on spec when I
measured it at 0.5db of loss. But the 20ft of jumpers I had ate another
0.6db. I can eliminate those and will do so now that I'm aware of their
penalty.

I know it only means a fraction (pick a number...) of an S unit but when the
DX on the other side of the world has to ask for a dozen fills I'll be happy
to know I've done as much as I can to lessen their pain a bit. ;-)

Best so far is an FO in French Polynesia and VQ in Diego Garcia with 5W and
a 80ish foot wire dipole at 50ft in Maryland.
