[Elecraft] Something *really* new at Dayton from Elecraft

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Or, in the case of G - Foundation license allows 10w, Intermediate 50w, Full 400w.

And Foundation license holders may build a recognised kit - so the KX3 will be just ideal for these guys to get started on HF and then add the PA when they get Intermediate and run it at 50w. When they get Full licence, they can crank it up to 100w and get even more enjoyment.

They may never go above 100w. Over here, we are so 'cramped' that many of us just couldn't run 400w without our neighbours complaining. I run 100w and may not be breaking pileups, but with 100w on SSB, I worked VK on 20m @ 22:35z on 5-May! - now that really felt like something at that time with these conditions.

I have a friend runs 5w QRP CW and works more slots than anyone else I know and a lot more than a good many people I don't.

73 de M0XDF, K3 #174, P3 #108, KX3 #???
