K3 - superb

[M0XDF]

I'd just like to say how much I like my K3. Not only that, but prior to the
K3, I was using an FT-857 as a base station (ok, so we all learn and I've
only been licensed since 2003).

My activity had rather dropped off and not just due to current conditions.
The K3 has rekindled my interest and I'm happily trying to work people in
the evening again (XYL permitting).

I'm still a phone guy, so until I've improved my Morse, with current
conditions, there's not a lot I get to work. There's plenty around, but
limited antenna and power (K3/100W barefoot), not a lot seems to hear me.

If all is not lost, where is it?

David,

In a poor HF location with just a trap dipole I'm seeing the whole world on
SSTV and PSK.

Try PSK - you will be amazed with what you can do. PSK requires brains, not
muscles!
