[Elecraft] K3 - 160M Country #219 TNX to APF

[Rich - K1HTV]

Boy, I'm sure glad that I downloaded the Beta version of the K3 firmware with
the new APF feature. I noticed a 160 Meter putout for KH2/N2NL this morning just
before our 11:44Z sunrise at this VA QTH. I tuned down to 1817.5 KHz only to
hear noise...then a pee weak, unreadable signal. I switched on the new APF
feature and up popped the signal from Guam, now 449. We exchanged reports and 73
and K1HTV Topband country #219 was in the log. That's 219 countries on 160
Meters with 100 Watts or less. FYI, the antenna on this end was an Inverted-L,
70 ft of it vertical, used for both TX and RX. Heard nil on the Beverages.

K3....What a radio! Thanks for the Elecraft software brains for adding the APF
feature to an ever growing K3 bag of tricks.

73,
