[Elecraft] Field day radio

[george fritkin via Elecraft]

All great tips so far.  I know this is an Elecraft group, "but can we all get along".   Both have merits

Keep the suggestions coming.  

As I said last year I was in some obscure county in Wyoming.  I was like a DX station in a pile up.

Thanks for the info

The last two Field Days I've been part of a group that runs either 1A 
battery or 2A battery from solar power, and we run 5W. Although there 
are several KX3s in the group, we choose to run K3s so we can use P3s. 
The K3s need a bit more current than the KX3s, so if you're pinched for 
solar power, the KX3 would be the better choice. Also, I'm a member of a 
big contesting club, and several of our members report that the KX3 
performs quite well in a contesting environment.

One important caveat though -- don't even think of running SSB QRP on 
Field Day. We learned that the hard way last year. We could run rates of 
70 Qs per hour on CW, but were lucky to do 5 an hour on SSB.
