[Elecraft] K3 for SWL?

[Bill Frantz]

When I started, I thought that I could avoid making mistakes in 
front of too many people by running QRP. Then I found I could be 
heard around the world. It never fails to surprise that dummy 
loads get out at times, and that what worked yesterday but 
doesn't today. Propagation never fails to be fascinating.

I do have my SWL QSL from KSM on 426 KC. The K3 makes a good low 
band receiver.
