[Elecraft] K3- Synthesizer

[Phil Wheeler]

Ken,

And I thought 1 mW was pretty paltry; 0.8 mW seems 
not that much less :-)

Re listening: Having not considered 630 m until 
having it available with my K3 I have no antenna 
for that purpose. Most of my antennas are resonant 
on ham bands -- Tri-band beam, rotating 4-band 
dipole and a 30 m dipole. I do have a full-size 
G5RV. Would that work for RX on 630 m, perhaps 
with both sides of the feed coax tied together so 
it looks like a long wire? Seems like that may be 
my best option among those I have. But as an "old 
hand" on 630 m, perhaps you have experience with 
"make do" RX antennas.

73, Phil W7OX
