K3 on the same

the I7SWX K3 2T

state.
>>>>>
>>>>> I did not tell about the difference to anybody but after the 
contest one of the
>>>>> operators told me I should check the K3 because there were 
weak stations that

hear them with the
>>>>> other K (the original K3).

>>>>> LX7I has large/high antennas, see www.lx2a.com

advantage, congrats.
