[Elecraft] CQ WPX and the KSYN3A board?

[Fred Jensen]

I was on only sporadically, wedding to attend on Sat and most of Sun was 
at granddaughter's softball tournament.  It is however probably the best 
workout I've given the new synthesizer, and the improvements in QSK and 
CW stability are remarkable and obvious.  I rarely noticed any phase 
noise with the old board, I didn't notice any with the new one.  Phase 
noise on receive is not really my problem however, Casey's [neighbor] 
plasma TV is.  Fortunately, he's had lots of problems with it, came over 
to see our Panasonic LCD, and is about to trash the plasma. :-)  The CW 
was just super clean at 30-35 WPM which is about the max I use in 
contests [except when working D4C].
