K3 and Field Day
Locked
 
|
*Hi to the list,
I am very proud to announce that God spoke to me yesterday on 10M with a K3 and a KPA-500... I can tell you all, Eric has a superb signal...I was knocked for six when he came up on frequency. He is not only a BIG signal with the SteppIR and the KPA-500, but he is such a great guy to chat with and I had just a small issue with trying to fit my head back in the fild day shack and it was only 8 feet wide in the doorway...:-) You just gotta ask yourself one question eh?....what other company has an owner who actually speaks on their radio to us little folks...I am inpressed let me tell you. Oh, and he did promise to help alleviate some more dollars from my bank account too! Just had to brag guy's..... Wonder if he will QSL with me? 73's Gary * -- *VK4FD - Motorhome Mobile Elecraft Equipment K3 #679, KPA-500 #018 Living the dream!!!* ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

If you really want to impress people, try working me. I always operate under extreme conditions to inspire our staff to create better tools for handing QRM and QRN: 10 watts into a random wire 20 feet off the roof, with power lines nearby, cats prowling my workbench, and my high-energy 6-year-old son throwing paper airplanes at me. Wayne N6KR P.S. No one informed me that Eric was God. I suppose I'd better increase his allowance. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Hi Wayne,
I have worked you three times if memory serves me. I have never worked Eric. At least once you were walking along the shore in Michigan with your KX1. I don't remember what you were up to the other times. Guess his monster signal just cannot get to Oregon ;) 73, Kevin.

*Wayne,
Chuckle....... He sure impressed those in the cheap seats..:-) I played it pretty cool though..:-) I try to work 10M every day so maybe we can work..kitty and son permitting... Now let's not increase salaries...the new toys are nicely priced as it is and we don't want to drive the cost's up now do we? Great to hear Eric though, it was the highlight of the weekend and conditions were great till Eric left the frequency and closed the band off so he could get some rest.

That was a memorable QSO, for sure, Kevin. I was sitting on a bench under the pines, up on a hill overlooking the lake. Sunny, slight breeze, my daughter reading Harry Potter nearby. The branch I picked for my antenna was high enough that I needed two 1-oz weights to toss it up there, and signals were great.

These are the conditions for which a really cool radio should be designed. You certainly reach the largest audience with a radio that copes with all that. The next challenge will be one that will work VU4 with that setup. 73, Tony KT0NY ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

I worked Eric about six months ago. Sent him a QSL card because I wanted to
confirm working K3.....Serial number ONE! Never got a reply. But that's OK, cause he must get tons of mail and I'd rather he spend his time doing more of what those guys do best! 73, Terry, W0FM -----Original Message----- From: Tony Estep [mailto:[hidden email]] Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 4:20 PM To: Elecraft Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 and Field Day On Mon, Mar 21, 2011 at 3:24 PM, Wayne Burdick <[hidden email]> wrote: > ...Anyone can work Eric, with his monster antenna, seaside QTH, and 500 > W.

Hi Terry,
I do try to reply to all QSL requests, but sometimes they get misplaced or I get busy here. I'll recheck my inbox of cards to see if I have yours. I know I'm behind a bit ;-) 73, Eric On 3/22/2011 10:53 AM, Terry Schieler wrote: > I worked Eric about six months ago.
