ALL connector surfaces except silver and gold (and under some conditions
even silver) are candidates for oxidizing. A high current episode is a good
time to go over all the contacts. That's not only to find the problem, but
especially and primarily, to perform maintenance to prevent the usual
deterioration of contacts over time before it shows up ugly in a contest or
when you're after that rare DX you've been chasing for ten years.

I vote with Don on the 20m LP filter. Do contact K3 support.
