This is to certify that in this contest I have operated
my transmitter within the limitations of my ability and
limitations of my familiarity with the new radio.
Comments:
Got a sweep! ID, BC, and NT were all caught during the last hour.
Ran "Unlimited/Multi-Single" Packet was a total waste of time in
this
contest. Spots for 3V8, E51, VP6DX(!?) and others, but no spots of
BC, ID, or NT
or anything else that I could use at any time.
Had a magical run on 40m SSB (which I ordinarily despise) where
the "last 10" rate
was over 280! Unfortunately, it didn't last an hour or two.
I think I like the K-3.
Thanks for all the Q's!
