[Elecraft] Field Day & KX3

[grif80128 at comcast.net]

I ran a KX3, PX3, KXPA and the new Powerwerx power supply on 6 meters for our 7E W0NT team at our club location south of Littleton. After an initial glitch, which I believe related to the PowerPoles, I worked steadily from start to about 2130L on Saturday. The band was pretty flat. Not that unusual for the 6M band on a Field Day. Sunday started slow but about 0900L the band exploded with activity and remained that way until Field Day ended. I ended up with 154 contacts...a new station record for me. It was so amazing to see the band with the PX3. Sometimes almost hypnotizing watching the ebb and flow on the waterfall! I also enjoyed the ability to quickly narrow the passband when some stations called off frequency.
