[Elecraft] Fwd: Field Day

[Joseph Trombino, Jr]

> Howdy Gang:
> 
> I'm eagerly awaiting a report from Wayne N6KR on how the KX3 performed during Field Day.
> 
> I took my K2 out to the field on Saturday for Field Day and used my PAR EFHW for 40/20/10M and made 30 QSO's in just over an hour.
> 
> 10 meters was excellent for about an hour at 1900Z but didn't hear anything west of the Mississippi.
> 
> I did manage to get a 579 report from Sao Paulo, Brazil during a QSO with a non-FD DX station.
> 
> WX here in southeastern North Carolina was sunny and hot...93F with high humidity but it was tolerable compared to last year at this time.
> 
> 20M was wall to wall full of signals and 40M was productive as well...15M had a bunch of signals too.
> 
> I'm always amazed at how full the bands are during Field Day (especially the CW areas) and then how sparse it can be even on a normal weekend.
> 
> Sure looking forward to using a new KX3 next year at Field Day.
> 
> Here's hoping Wayne can give us a detailed report on the KX3's performance under crowded band conditions.
> 
> See y'all at Field Day next year.
