K3 sweepstakes this weekend

[Don Rasmussen]

K3 #272 was on the air for it's first ARRL SS this afternoon, on 20m and what a treat. This contest and the CQWWCW are the two contests that I dream of, even though I never post my logs. It's just a great time to stress test the transceiver and to get a real idea what the bands are doing since there is always someone on the band. Don't miss the opportunity, I did some more A/B tests and I've not had a radio in the past that was not the loser in at least some condition. So far, K3 has always been the best, or has been able to be dialed in to make it that way. Very nice.

This was my K3's (#1371) first SS as well and it was a joy to use - totals for me were:

815 Q's
79 sections worked (missed NT)
128,000 points

I worked single op, low power.  Really wish I would have had the sub-RX available and installed for this contest - 15 meters was hopping as well.

The filtering really helped out during the extremely crowded band conditions on 20 meters.  Several times I had to reach for the width knob to dial the filters way down - spent much of the contest with it set at or near 400 Hz, a few times needed to go more narrow.

Hope everyone had as much fun as I did.
