If it didn't function in part as a contest, I predict that participation would decrease greatly. I don't turn out for SET, so I probably wouldn't if FD were less of a contest. It's one of my favorite
Heck, Stuart, it gets cold enough in June at 7,000' ASL! We get winds that uproot tents sometimes. And the campground may be closed after Labor Day, since it's on USFS property. 73 de Jim - AD6CW ___
We had one - an Argonaut V. All of the rest of the radios were Elecrafts: 3 x K2, one K3 and one KX3. 73 de Jim - AD6CW _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@cont
Another option to consider, Dan, is K3ZN paddles. I have the ZN-V vertical paddle on order from Tony, and it should be finished and ready to ship by the end of the month. Lead time is about 90 days,
Can someone confirm what the serial number sequence is for this paddle? I believe that mine says "T100," which would indicate the 100th unit. True? 73 de Jim - AD6CW _________________________________
Rick, while I'm a fan of both companies, I'm really surprised at the answer that you received from the guys at Elecraft. Every day their mailing list is overflowing with helpful hints on the K3 and t

I'm inclined to agree with you and Jeff. As far as buying the 539+418, one scenario that I can see is $$$ up front. Assuming that the final price is around $800-900 for each, it may be easier on a li

I think I used the same phrase about a week ago. Interesting that Elecraft can be at both Huntsville and Boxboro, on back-to-back weekends, no less, and Ten-Tec can't venture any farther than Huntsvi
Jerry, I understand that there are almost 1,500 KX3s now out in the field. I ordered mine on January 6th, 10 days after Elecraft opened the order window, and received it on July 19th; more than 180 d

Yes, you certainly will, Bry. Without a doubt, one of the finest transceivers I have ever owned. I traded it to Ten-Tec, along with a Argonaut V, toward the purchase of an Eagle. I don't regret doing
Mike, the 526 is 6m/2m only - no 70 cm coverage. 73 de Jim - AD6CW Thanks and 73 Mike W2IY _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.conte
Lee, why not spend a few bucks more and get the Eagle, unless you plan to take the 539/418 pair out of the shack? With the Eagle, you get a better receiver, more filter slots, full 160-6m coverage, a
I'm sure that it has to do with the economy. All costs considered, it's very expensive for companies to send representatives and equipment to the various conventions and hamfests. Some years ago, bef
I changed the subject, since there have been several postings since "the last word." We could feel the impact of the Internet as far as attracting vendors to our convention in 2001 - that long ago. O
While a good strategy, Rick, visiting the vendor area is one of the first things I do at a hamfest or convention. I like to see whatever products are on display, even if they aren't the latest and gr
