[Elecraft] KX3 and Data modes

[kevinr]

Alaska is easy copy for me as well as Phil, who is located further south 
of me in Oregon.  My doublet, which runs N-S, is in an inverted V 
configuration which does help 'round out' its reception pattern.  I am 
not sure why but QRP signals from Palmer are normally strong.  Juneau 
was problematic this morning but we have had some unusual conditions the 
last week plus a time change.
