Comments:

I can't believe I operated over 13 hours in a phone contest!  I did my usual
non-preparation for the contest and tweaked the radio and logging settings
during breaks.  Half way through the contest, I got the N1MM function keys set
up to key my K3 DVK, which saved my voice.  

I had an initial problem of the RX audio cutting out in short bursts. I checked
the K3 user manual for some recommendations on the "Sub Pot SQ Main"
settings, which appeared to clear the problem (tapped the "1" button
to toggle from "SQL ALL" to "SQL FM").  It's also possible
that it was just Internet stutter between my MD QTH and control location in
South Florida that cleared up later in the contest. 

73,
John, N3AM
