[Elecraft] [K3S] WSJT-X MSK144

[MaverickNH]

So I'm trying WSJT-X MSK144 first time on my K3S - running 150W into a PAR
AO-50 vertical loop at 30ft in Southern NH. Settings Rx 1500, F Tol 200, T/R
15s on Fast Decode (older 8 core CPU won't do Deep). By doing it wrong my
local HAMs have kindly let me know to TX Odd on East Coast. I also had the
K3S set on split for a while and got that fixed (off). Tx was at 50.313 in
RED (how I didn't notice is beyond me). Now, set Tx 50.260.00, I got a QSO
immediately during the Perseids meteor shower. 

Yesterday, despite wrong settings, I managed 3 QSOs from a 43ft vertical,
which is a good bit less efficient than the loop, to GA, MO & IA from NH.
Dunno how!

Does a 6m loop or vertical, dipole tuned to 6m via base rATU) cause much
havoc with nearby HAMS on MSK144 if we're all TXing Odd?

Any other MSK144/K3S tips & tricks appreciated - short of "install a good
Yagi on a beam" - wife says negative ;-)

Thanks, 73,
