K3s on Ducie

john.brewer
Those K3's on Ducie sure sound good...they have very nice keying characteristics and are
obviously not having any problems vacuuming up signals either.   Great stuff!   The K3
certainly would seem to be the rig of choice for DXpeditions....

Yes, the group's CW signals on 20m and 17 during the day have been solid -- but my efforts to grab this new one have not been rewarded with a QSO yet.  I was hoping the team would show off the K3's receiver by purposefully pulling the small signals like mine out of the frey.  (I did get a good contact with Andy, DL8LAS while he was onboard the ship to the island, however -- THANKS!)  So I will continue to pound away with my 100 watts and attic dipole....    73 de Ken N4OI

I was waiting for them this morning on 40 meters in Kansas...but could not hear them around 5:30 am to 6 am.  I checked 80 meters CW and there they were loud and clear on the grey line.  Nice signals too on 80 meters which surprised me.  I kep telling myself I was hearing a K3.  Nice!!!!  ARe they running any amps?  But alas....no QSO.  Pile up was pretty big and I ran out of time.  I had to get to work.  Rats!

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?
