[Elecraft] K3 CW signal

[Gary K9GS]

Funny you should mention that Ken.  Right after this weekend's CONTEST I 
send the following e-mail to one of the guys in my contest club.  He has 
a multi-multi (that's multiple radio/multiple operator) contest station 
entirely using K3's.  I've edited out his callsign to respect his privacy.

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that I listened quite critically to your 
40M signal Saturday night.  After EU SR and before the Asia/Pacific 
stuff got really rolling I had some time on my hands.

Anyway, K9ABC had one of the BEST sounding signals I've ever heard.  
Very crisp, no clicks, etc.  I was able to listen with my K3 right up 
close on both sides of your signal without even having to crank the 
filters in tight.  That's much more than I can say for other signals on 
the band.

You've got everything dialed in just right!

He was running 1980's Heathkit gear and didn't know what I was running.
