I love my K3s and I love my HI-Z array,
they work beautifully. I hear signals that
are so faint but I hear them clearly with
only background noise.
I know I am praising the K3s and HI-Z
array but this goes for my old K3 and HI-Z
Triangular array as well. Earlier this
year I bought a K3s, retiring my K3 and I
replaced my HI-Z triangular Rx antenna
with a HI-Z 8 element Rx antenna a few
months ago. It is a stellar antenna.
I replaced both because I wanted the best
I could have at this QTH for reception on
the low bands. The difference between my
enhanced K3 and the K3s is not tremendous
Rx wise but I wanted what little there may
be, the same for the HI-Z Triangular. My
160 antenna is a sloper with a max height
of maybe 50'.
Last year I was using the K3 and the
Triangular. With that, I just received a
certificate from the ARRL for last year's
160 Meter Contest, giving me 1st place,
single op QRP in CT and 4th place United
States and Canada. This with an average Tx
antenna and much QRM from RFI due to the
electric AMTRAK lines 75' away.
If it weren't for the abilities of this
fine K3 and this Rx antenna, I would have
never been so lucky as to do as well. So
this is a shout out to Elecraft for
producing a magnificent radio and to HI-Z
for a magnificent Rx antenna.
Thank you, Elecraft.
