[Elecraft] KX3

[Dominic Baines]

Hi all,

Ref:

My KX3 Serial number is 1082

I'm qrv for one more night 11th October 08:00-18:00 UTC (starting 10 ish hours from right now) from beach on north shore of American Samoa with a perfect NE orientation, 800m cliff <200m behind beach and 600m coral reef shelf in front so lovely salt water for 10 wavelength out so really good take off for 15m and 20m vertical dipoles right on the waters edge. Antennas are speaker wire cut to resonance fed with RG58 hung on 10m fishing poles with bottom element 1m above the wet sand all in all about $50 worth of antenna so anyone can make one.

No B.S. I am running the KX3 barefoot and it is only set at 5W as no mains power for any supply.

If you fancy a KX3 2 way qso please try and find me...

On 15m I will be tx on 21.015 or 21.055, 20m 14.015 or 14.055 on either working simplex or up2 if there is a pile up.

My CW is SLOWER than the average DXer 12-16wpm so shouldn't have a problem trying to copy me. I tend to ignore cw sent faster as I cannot copy it.

I was working US stations (all the way to East Coast) about 15:00UTC and after that this morning so just before to just after local runrise.
