[Elecraft] My K3 is Sick!

[morser]

Sick seems to be the word the kids at the Olympics now use to describe an
exceptional performance, as in, "Dude, that gold medal run you just did was
totally sick"!

So, I tune in to 10 meters CW this morning to see what FT5ZM is up to.  As
usual, the pileup is S9 and about 20 khz wide.  I'm running my K3 at five
watts, into a G5RV wire antenna up about 30 feet.  And it's snowing.

But, what the heck.  I widen the P3 range to see the whole pileup, look for
a minute to see where he's listening, punch up my Split macro, and call. 
Once.  Back he comes, first time.

Now, granted, these are the best ops in the world, and like me, they are
using the best radio in the world, but still.  Five watts, wire antenna,
snow storm, huge pileup, one call, to the antipode.

No matter how you look at it, that's just sick!

73,
John W3DN
