I don't know how unique this is but I actually had a QSO with KK7P during SS this
weekend. Needless to say I was shocked! At first I thought someone was hijacking
his callsign. Lyle doesn't do contests. But I recognized the voice and was soon
put at ease. Then I wondered if Lyle was operating with his radio laid out on his
work bench in pieces...connected by a gaggle of jumper wires, or if he actually had
it all put back together. No...I'm pretty sure it was in pieces. :)
Thanks for the Q Lyle!
As usual the K3 did great! While I can't yet keep up with the likes of K5WA...I
just can't get use to SO2R having to listen to different voices in each ear at the
same time. I have enough voices in my head to listen to without the headphones.
But I did get just short of 1100 contacts and got the sweep too. Puerto Rico was
the last nail in the coffin. I did use the second radio for tuning around on other
bands for multipliers and that's how I found NWT and PR.
Thanks to Joe, W4TV and John, K3CT, the new IS filter codes for N1MM made it easy
for switching from user-set wide to narrow filters where you can also specify the
filter FC. Once I had the K3 dialed in there was not much to do with its controls
except for the RIT and an occaisional use of AGC controls when working a weak
station aside from tuning the second radio listening for multipliers.
