Re: [KX3] Field Day Rules

[Elecraft mailing list]

Ha.

I loaned a good friend my K3 on Field Day for cw and ran my Omni 7 a few feet away on phone.

No doubt phone is tougher.

He still has my K3.

My proposed rule change - anyone that can't run Elecraft should get both sympathy and at least a 25 percent multiplier 🙈

In recent years, we have been trying to simplify our FD operation for ease of setup and tear down. QRP would be a step in that direction and a step towards FD's roots.
