[Elecraft] TX EQ settings for Contesting

[John Simmons]

The K3 TX EQ works better if you cut, rather than amplify. Start off by 
cutting everything below 500 Hz all the way down. Then experiment with 
boosting the 1500 Hz and above. Having someone listen that is close by 
is a big help.

The answers were to shift the transmitted audio frequency curve upwards.  One suggested having a high-pitched YL record the call for a DVR.
