First off, thanks to all who are following this set of tests, and for
all the advice and guidance. It's been invaluable. I am not
transmitting - not sure the K3 will actually do that, and at any rate I
don't have an experimental license for that "band" and I'm way too old
for the "Gated Community for the Ethically Challenged." It's not likely
I will transmit there any time soon.
Tonight's experiment: I'm going to catalog the NDB's [and other
identifiable signals] I can hear with my headphones in CW and near-CW
bandwidths using a different [much bigger but not-so-vertical] set of
conductors in the air for the antenna.
Before bed, I'll start WSPR, turn on spotting, and we'll see what
appears when the sun comes up.
So far on CW at roughly 30-35 WPM full QSK, with KPA500, the new
synthesizer is living up to the claims. I no longer hear any artifacts
in the keying, and when I record it on another receiver, it sounds
totally clean. Haven't done SSB yet.
