[Elecraft] -SSB net and KX3&KXPA&BL2

[Bill Frantz]

I tried getting in from New Hampshire running my KX3 flat out 
(15W), but no joy. John, N6JW did manage to copy the first 3 
characters of my call, but couldn't get the rest. I could hear 
Eric and a few others, but apparently nobody could hear me. 
Running power seemed to help a lot.

I was using a 2 element wire beam at about 15 feet. It is 
resonate on 20M, so the tuner isn't really needed.
