My first posting to this group,  (which I have been reading for some weeks) May I add a comment or two?

The QSO party an excellent idea, but I have to comment on someone  suggestions of times, 00000z  to 2400z   such figures are confusing  especially when  big time shifts like our 15 hours/ with USA etc.   Days are irrelevant,  but Dates matter.  so start time should be 0001z    on   X Date   and finish should be 2359z on X date .
               Sorry folks just one of my little gripes............. (Grumpy old Man....).

All I wish for is that my K3 which was first fired up after the kit build about 3rd Nov,    will eventually sprint into life.
It has worked, sort of, but constant problems have beset it and the mails from me to Elecraft are flowing thick and fast.
Having said that, they are doing their best, with helping advice,  but nearly 3 months  of frustration only goes to show the degree of patience I have !!
