Re: Another really good reason to come to the Visailia DX convention this weekend...

The K line started with QRP levels and now they may be up to a 1500W amp?
How times have changed.

Does anyone [except Wayne, Eric, and a few engineers] actually know
that, or are we just kicking around "alternative facts?"

The last four numbers that are clipped by the top region of the photo are all four-digit numbers or so it appears. But, I really looks like the first of those four digit numbers is 1100 but the second of them looks most like 1000. However, the far right number does look like 1500 more than anything else but the 3rd number (from the left) in the list could be 1300. But, the mystery is why does the first number look like 1100 when the second one looks like 1000.

To read these, I blew up the photo image about a 4 or 5 time zoom level.

I agree, changinging my mind, the numbers read out: …, 900, 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, 1900.

No, it's not times that have changed; it's the sunspot cycle that has
changed. QRP for sunspot cycle peaks and QRO for all-time minimums.

OK ... I only have a KX3/KXPA100/PX3 setup, but I'm excited to see
something like this .. and its 19 days after April 1st too !!

What I want to know is:

Will you LIVE STREAM (of any sort) the reveal, or will you keep the rest
of us in the hinterland unable to attend in suspense because you can't
email due to all the pre-orders you'll be taking ??

I just called and pre-ordered one. I'm 3rd. on the list! Better hurry.

The posting below is a little inaccurate.

If we are going to announce something like everyone is talking about, we are not
yet taking orders.

That said, we can put people on a notification list for when we will have
additional info and for when we will be taking orders for whatever we are
talking about.
