One more K3 Testimony

In the CQ WW 160 SSB my friend Chuck, W5PR and I were both operating the contest. Chuck has a very good antenna system and near max legal power. His signal runs about 50 over S9 at my QTH. I endeavored to see how close to Chuck's run frequency I could work a station. I was able to work an S9 signal 2.5 Khz below Chuck's run freq. More than 3 KHZ above or below, I could not tell when Chuck transmitted. Bravo for the K3 and Bravo for Chuck and his extremely clean transmitter!

Re: One more K3 Testimony

YOU FORGOT TO MENTION WHICH RADIO CHUCK WAS USING TO BE SO CLEAN AT ONLY 3KHZ FROM YOU.

Re: One more K3 Testimony

I didn't forget Hector, I don't know. I don't think it is a K3 and I am sure his amplifier is not an Elecraft.

How sure are you? The amp (or amps?) that Eric used to demo at
hamfests must be somewhere. Who knows? Maybe the KPA-500, if there is
such a thing, is in a (secret) field test ... maybe ...

Hector, I asked Chuck for his rundown. Here is his answer.

Hi Cookie, you did not bother me at all during the contest. I was using an Icom 756PROIII with a Tentec Titan (the first version). On transmit, I shunt fed the 135' tower with a 70' gamma match made from old coax and a couple of capacitors. I used 2 elevated radials in opposite directions which I put in place and then trimmed for resonance by feeding each of them separately against ground. Receive was 4 Beverages. I think I will play some on 160 next weekend, but will still do 10 meters.
