[Elecraft] KX3 FD Operations?

[Amy Wilhelm]

I set up at a park but I'm afraid I wasn't really up to being out much... And work and plans Saturday interfered, and I hid inside from dry lightning on Sunday after visiting the Seattle ACS setup. 

I mostly tuned around 20m, tried SSB and PSK31 a bit but didn't have any luck on either of those. Bands were *crowded* and possibly a magnetic loop isn't the best choice for contesting. 😪 Got one JT65 QSO down, but not for FD. 

Given more time (or CW...) I'm sure I could have made a few QSOs but between scheduling and weather I only had about an hour and a half on the air.
