I found myself in the middle of nowhere in WV the day after FD, no phone
or internet. That was actually kind of nice! So I missed the parade of
FD comments.
For the past 10 - 12 years I have operated FD at our clubhouse (nice
radios and antennas but no Elecraft stuff) which is always fun, but this
year I decided I wanted to do FD with my K3S and K3s.
Wow!
My antennas consist of wires and verticals, that is it. I only ran
SSB. I was amazed how weak signals just popped out of the noise. Even
the "soft talkers". I had absolutely no trouble making Qs with the
weakest of the weak. In laymen terms, the audio seems to sit right on
top of the noise. I actually ran some really high Q rates which is not
always easy to do on FD.
Hats off to the folks at Elecraft.
