[Elecraft] [K3] 1st CW QSO on 60M

[Nick-WA5BDU]

I got in a CW QSO on the first day the new privilege became available.  
Pretty fun.  I set up another bank of memories for the CW frequencies.

Then I was thinking that it's kind of difficult to check for USB QSOs in 
progress with the way CW is required to transmit 1.5kHz above the USB 
carrier frequency.  You're listening too high even  if you go to USB 
mode and open the bandwidth. It's cumbersome.

My next notion was to program the CW frequency into each of the five 
channels but put the USB frequency and mode into VFO B for each memory.  
That way I can just hit the A/B switch to monitor the channel on USB, 
tuned properly, proper bandwidth.  If OK, I go back to VFO A and put out 
a call.

With an asterisk in front of each channel's name, I can use VFO A to 
"channel" hop up and down the five channel band.  One minor problem here 
is that VFO B doesn't follow along with the channel hopping.  It might 
be useful if it did so.
