RE Another K3 Antarctic excursion

James Beitchman
Dave and others,

 

There is no particular operating plan and the antenna, according to Balun
Designs, will work 160 - 10M with the K3 ATU.  So bands are not selected.
Please check DX clusters.

 

Since 1945, the start of post-war DXCC counting, maritime contacts in
territorial waters have not been counted for credit.

 

Again, I look forward to contacting many Elecraft stations

Jim,

 

Thanks for the heads up.  I'll try and listen.  I wonder if there is any

particular band or time of operation.  Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to

watch the DX cluster.

 

I didn't realize that operating from a ship, in territorial waters, didn't

count for DXCC.  However, I'm not surprised that I didn't know this tidbit

since I'm not an avid DX chaser.  I suppose that is because actual location

might be a bit "fuzzy" when operating that way, but it sure seems if a ship

is docked it ought to count!  Hi.  So, if I would be operating from a house

boat in San Francisco Bay, or maybe San Diego harbor, I guess that wouldn't

count as being in California either!  Hi.

 

Anyway, it will be interesting to see if I can hear them with that antenna

system.  A bunch of us on the PQRP reflector have been tinkering with just

such an antenna system.

 

73,
