[Elecraft] TX5K on 40 meters this morning

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

My barefoot K3 and dipoles no higher than 40 feet have worked them on
nine bands and three modes (I don't need 26 band slots) - most of the
time has been spent listening while they were working "Europe only" on
every available band.

Whether phone, CW or RTTY the K3, KRX3 and P3 make an unbeatable team -
see where they're working on the P3, tune to the station he's working
with the KRX3 and call.  Many times it did not take more than one call
- including 160 and 80 CW.

73,

    ... Joe, W4TV
