[Elecraft] K3/10

[Ross Primrose N4RP]

I've been working HF at not more than 5W, into wire antennas, since Jan 
'09. I don't do CW (yet.) I've got 120 DXCC entities in the log with 89 
confirmed on LoTW, about 90 worked with 62 confirmed on SSB, WAS on 80m, 
40m & 20m. If you can put up a decent antenna system, you'll make plenty 
of contacts with 10W.

73, Ross N4RP
