[K3PZN-List] subject storms last night

[Peter Morton]

So, what was the doublet connected to?  Ground, or a radio, or nothing?

Last year you and Keri used my FT-DX3000 on 20 meter SSB.  The phase 
noise of the radio when transmitting jammed the 20 meter CW station.  
The antennas of the two stations were too close to each other.  So, this 
year it is important to keep the two antennas well separated and 
oriented 90 deg to each other to minimize the problem.  The K3 has less 
transmitter phase noise than the FT-DX3000.
