Awoke at 5 AM to make coffee and begin my final fun for Feild Day Sunday
morning. Cool and damp in boat saloon. Turned on K3/P3 and noticed change
in screen. P3 showed, for the first time, my signal on transmit but nothing
on receive. Over the next 20 minutes this changed back to normal. It was
nice to see my own signal. Also the "green passband" was missing. It is
fine now. Cold? Dampness? Can I reproduce seeing my own signal without
putting the P3 on ice?.
K3 worked great. Got many comments like "strongest signal on band" with 100
watts and 2 el vertical beams on 15 and 20 over saltwater.700 contacts and
7 hours of sleep. The K3 processor is the best ever! Set at 20-25 for
contest.
