TX5K joy

I logged them last night on 10M SSB with a K3/KPA500/KAT500 combo into a N6BT vertical. I feel the pull of DXing - resistance is futile!

Re: TX5K joy

I don't have a lot of time lately for the hobby, but was able to work them from San Diego in about 30 minutes on four bands, phone, 40,20,17&12. Hope to get them on CW on 80&160.

After some careful listening to the CW pileup and jumping in several times when I thought it was the right time, my signal was finally copied on 17 meters and I got my callsign into the TX5K logbook! Needless to say, I was quite thrilled!

Now if the pileup only knew I was running 5 watts from a KX3 to a loop antenna to make the contact...

The KX3 continues to impress. Thanks Eric / Wayne / et al at Elecraft for a heck of a portable radio!

I have worked Clipperton many times over the years but this morning my K3
brought me TX5K joy! Using my stealth antenna at my apartment in Tampa, I
used my paddle and made my first ever RTTY QSO and it was with TK5K. Yeah,
that was fun!

73, Mike
