[Elecraft] K3/0

[Tony Estep]

Well, everybody gets their kicks from this or any hobby in their own
personal way.

For my part, I have not found it so easy to get to the  honor roll as
Joe has, possibly because Missouri is kinda far from the nearest salt
water. With just a wire in the trees, there are some places in Asia
and the remote Pacific that are  audible only once or twice in a
decade, if that.

Still, some of my numerous clubmates who have achieved the magic 331+
total have done it with a tri-bander on the roof, or a vertical in the
yard, and maybe someday I'll snag those last few that I still need,
and join them. When I do, I would like to feel that the other guys who
did it before me got there without sending their signals halfway to
the DX over a phone line or the internet.

Even if it somehow is deemed to be okay to work 'em that way, it's not
for me. I'll stick with the signal I can radiate via whatever wires I
can feed out my bedroom window.
