[Elecraft] K3 power out - key down

[Brian Alsop]

I'm not a QRP fan for DX.  However, one can definitely copy a weaker 
signal with JT65.  No matter how much power you have, you can't work 
them if you can't copy them.  It seems like the magic combo is 1500 W 
and JT65 on both ends.  I think guys are resorting to this on 160M to 
try and squeeze out a new one or two.

The five minutes or so per QSO is a bummer though.
