Comments:

As everyone has said, 15m was a huge surprise!  This was my first 
contest with the K-3, constantly juggling the main and sub receivers 
without the "RX MIX" feature as I was used to with the FT-1000D for 
many years.  N1MM logger keyed the DVK in the K-3 flawlessly, per 
suggestions by N6ML.  There were many more JAs than I can remember in 
recent years on CW.  Europe was open well, except for UK area, 
northern Europe, northeastern  Europe and eastern Med.  On the west 
coast, European mults are always difficult to find during low cycle 
periods.  Listening to 5H3EE and ST2KSS  for hours on end was proof 
that the increased SFI was right on.  I only hope the CW contest will 
be as good.  I played leapfrog with 9J2BO as he moved along calling 
other stations, but never connected.  No zone 36.  Never heard zones 
17,18,21,22,23,39.  I use a 4 el. yagi on a crank up tower, on a city 
lot, with a rotary dipole element on the same mast that can be phased 
with the yagi for bidirectional broadside use.  It was very, very 
helpful during needed times.  Great to see so many impressive scores!
