I fired up the K3 for the recent Vhf contest. I have the preamp installed.
I used the SmallIR at 3/4 wave with only 11 radials running 100 watts. I
worked to east coast stations Q5 both ends. SWR was 3.2:1 as I need to add
more radials. It was a pleasure.

You'd love a K3 on 6m. I've not gotten the pre amp yet but I hear well with
a modest short boom 5 el yagi. What I really love is the KPA500.
Man that 500w on 6m is the difference. Not to the century mark yet just
89/88 but if 6m ever picks up this summer I hope to get closer. Been DXing
for 50 yr.s & as a CW OP it's the best RX I have used & I've used every
brand you could name and then some.
