Sunday Elecraft SSB net report 7-12-2009

Elecrafters,
At the request of Phil, NS7P, I acted as NCS today. Thanks to all for their patience and assistance as always. I was able to hold the net on 14.316 due to the consideration of KA7GKN and a group that were on the frequency, who relinquished it to the net (without request, I might add) at 18:00Z. Thanks guys. The following stations checked in: N8KJC Joe IC-7600 Harrison, MI Joe is interested in the K3, but is not on the Internet and is looking for specs, options, and other input, as he considers a purchase. He will likely contact Elecraft for the latest and most comprehensive information. M0CHK Andy K3 #1701 Wisbech, UK K0ARO Kurt K3 #151 Mason City, IA KA0NCR Arnie K3 #185 Freemont, NE also K2 #310 KB0YH Gus K3 #441 Denver, CO W9DVM Phil K3 #1605 Palm Harbor, FL KC0CHR/M Robert TS-480 Olexa, KS K5ENS Keith K3 Rayville, LA Keith didn't come back with rig details K8EAG Gilbert K3 #99 Ovid, MI Oldest K3 today W5YVU Doug K3 #522 Houston, TX 8P9HA Edward K3 #2409 Christ Church Barbados W8OV Dave K3 #3139 Plano, TX Newest K3 today KC9JKK Kevin FT-897 Joliette, IL N7EDK Ed K2 #6576 Tuscon, AZ AD4C Hector K3 #2192 Palm Beach, FL W4AKO Arno IC-7700 Marshall, VA Arno is interested in the K3 and has two close friends with them. . and K4SO Mark K3 #2861 Nokesville, VA, substitute NCS. Conditions were slightly better than average, and it was great to have two DX stations join us. Luckily, I have a fixed yagi for EU to pick up Andy, M0CHK, since I was beaming west with the tribander. A SE beverage antenna proved similarly useful for Edward, 8P6HA. Lots of QRN though, as I experienced yesterday in the IARU contest. I have picked up a W9XT band decoder to drive the second side of a SixPak antenna switch, and I will report to the net when it's online. Since it uses the Yaesu BCD values (Yaesu was there first, I believe), it should function with the K3 just as my TopTen band decoder does, which is also designed for the Yaesu. This board is under $20, and a great value for antenna or bandpass filter switching.
