K3 - Clipperton on 160M with 5 Watts

k1htv
Spent all weekend on 160M at Multi-Multi station W3LPL using my K3 in the diversity mode in the ARRL Phone DX contest. Despite the poorer than normal conditions we still managed to work 57 countries. The best 160M DX QSO was with NH2T on Guam.

I believe that Dave was also using a K3, probably the same one used a year ago to hear my barefoot K3 on 160M from the home VA QTH. The QSO with Guam was a new K1HTV DXCC country and the 33rd zone worked on 160 Meters.
 
On Monday evening while on 160 Meters at home, I pushed the PF2 macro button to set my K3 to QRP 5 Watts. Within 10 minutes of calling, I managed to break the Clipperton DXpedition pileup to work TX5K for 160M QRP country #89.

Thank you Elecraft for a great communications tool!

The very first QSO with my K3 was TX5K on 6m off the moon. Nice way to
break it in!
