[Elecraft] FIELD DAY PREP

[KENT TRIMBLE]

Good morning, Bob . . .

We normally use 75-100 feet separation between dipoles aligned 
end-to-end, and have had no problems over the years.  However, last year 
we were limited to less than 50-feet separation and I noticed the 
Carrier Operated Relay (COR) in my K3 was kicking on occasionally from 
the SSB station with which we (CW) were obliged to share a trailer.

I tried a TRP-150 for the first time on the air this morning and a 
station in Michigan detected no clicks, truncating, or other aberrations.

We'll see.

73,
