[Elecraft] OT: NVIS with KX3

[Stephen Bloom]

Not exactly related to this but ...fwiw as someone fairly new to this
reflector ...

I'm just as interested in what people *do* with their Elecraft equipment as
well as how their experiences ..whether DX ..Contest ..EComm..VHF/UHF/EME
etc. using Elecraft equipment compare with experiences using other
equipment.  Some of the threads here do go on too long ..or once in awhile
go off on an extreme tangent ..but for the most part ...I think we are a
little too quick to claim "off topic" ....YMMV

Hello elecrafters,

It is off topic and you may wish to press 'del' button now.

Local ham clubs together with some hams in the China Mainland are going to
do some drilling in ARES within the Pearl River Delta area (with a radius of
about 50km).  NVIS could be one of the operation to trial run for ARES.  My
questions are:

1.  Is the power output say 10w from KX3 good enough for such purpose under
SSB? We don't want CW which requires training operators.  Phone mode can be
operated by anyone with minimal guidance (a simulation under emergency).

2. During day time, is 40m a proper band to use (no 60m band in ITU Region
3)?  If yes, what will be usually frequencies used such proposes?

3.  I am going to use Buddipole for the NVIS antenna.  Did you go good
results for similar operation in the past?

Looking forward to your advice and thanks in advance.  Please reply
off-the-list so as to save the bandwidth here.
