[Elecraft] The Big Three...

[donovanf at starpower.net]

WRTC competitors must be highly competitive on both CW and SSB. 


If you survey the most competitive contesters about their favorite 
(i.e., most effective) SSB radio you probably won't find a single 
contester that favors the K3. In fact, they would favor any of other 
manufacturer over Elecraft. 


CW is a different story where the K3 really shines as the favorite 
radio among the most competitive contesters.

Wasn't my subject line. But I'll see your four and raise it to five: Elecraft, 
Flex, Icom, Kenwood and Yaesu.
