4W/G3ZEM

I want to acknowledge the superb performance of my K3, KPA500, KAT500 combo
along with my little HF9V while away on my solo 'man in a tent' trip to
Timor-Leste.

The nominal 220V supply in T-L rapidly ranges +/-20% when it is available
at all This would be a challenge for any equipment. Aside from occasional
60V high/low faults reported on the KPA500 everything worked faultlessly.

System integration was perfect providing for instant pre-tuned band changes
day and night. 15,200 Qs over 10 days CW only. I'm sure to have worked a
lot of Elecrafters.

K3, KPA500, KAT500 really is the combo of choice for fly-in fly-out
DX-peditioning.

Thanks to Elecraft for some first class equipment.

73 Bob, 5B4AGN

Hello Bob,

I would like to thank YOU for your trip to 4W. I was down to my last 4
zones needed on 80M and putting you in the log recently took that number
down to three zones left. Fantastic job with an HF9V for sure! You had
a very good signal on 80M.

The best part was a confirmation on LoTW within a few hours of working you.

Now if I could talk you into going to zone 22,23, and 24???

Hi Gary,
I will be one of the 3 operators from 8Q7DV (zone 22) during CQWW CW. We
are leaving from home on the 22nd of Nov and returning on the 4th of Dec so
there will be time before and after the contest. . Sure enough all the rigs
will be by Elecraft (actually a pair of K3 and possibly one KX3 for QRP)

73, Igor UA9CDC
