Greetings to the list!

After many years and much DX, I am retiring my beloved Ten Tec Orion and
have a K3S kit and P3 on the way.  I'm looking forward to building it and
putting it on the air.  I ordered the Sub-RX and dual 400 Hz 8-pole
filters.  More options later perhaps.

I've been licensed since 1983, been pretty serious about DX'ing for a
while.  I'm one away from Honor Roll so the Elecraft should be the one to
get me there.  The home station is pretty modest, a small LPDA at 50 feet,
a Butternut HF9V for low bands, an Inverted-L for Top Band, and K9AY loops
for receive.  I'm putting together a shorty-40 2 element yagi but will have
it low to the ground for now.  I've got a couple of kilowatt amps, one is
for the K3S and the other for the backup rig, a Yaesu FT-1000MP.

I'm just outside Hattiesburg, MS and work for the local university.  I've
got about 3 more years to retirement.

I expect for now I'll likely read more than write, unless I have questions
about the build or the operation.

73 de Chuck, WS1L

Welcome to the list, Chuck. I hope you quickly get that one more country you need. And a few more for good measure.

73,
