[Elecraft] KX3 #3933 Alive and kicking!

[Fred Smith]

Hans

You're in for some big surprises with the KX3 I know that I have been for
sure and it continues by the day since I received it in Jan of this year.

My contacts keep increasing in distance it seems and from home (the SW
corner of MO.) using my vertical a AV-18HT most all the time on 10-80m. The
internal tuner is fantastic and will tune everything I have thrown at it.

Yesterday morning on 20m at 08:30 utc. I worked a VK2 with 10w and received
a 59 from him had to ask twice the second for the true report it was still a
59. Yes I know propagation but still 10w and I copied him at 59+ 20 at
1000w, I was well pleased. That was my first time that far into Oceania for
me. My 2 K3's sitting beside my KX3 are finding more free time lately same
for the Alpha. Did turn both on last week to work a new one VK9CZ and had to
wait the 5 min for the Alpha to warm up. I decided I needed to use the Alpha
after I couldn't break the pileup with the other K3 and KPA500 they were
very weak.

Thanks Steve!

I guess that my QTH on 70.25 degrees North, makes mine the northernmost
"residental" KX3, hi!

73!
