[Elecraft] ARRL 10-m contest

[Bert via Elecraft]

I used my KX3 and KXPA100 for the 14 hours I was on. I recently had gone  
through the rx sideband nulling procedure and really enjoyed single-signal  
reception. The amp got pretty hot...it definitely needs external cooling of 
some  sort. I didn't take any PA temp readings, but the heatsink was  
uncomfortable to touch during long spells of "running" at 100W output.
 
The KX3 is an outstanding performer, even if QSK isn't as quiet as the K3  
with FW 5.01 :~)
