Whoever it was, he was flying and getting the call correct the first time every time.  I was amazed at how well they were doing racking up the Qs.  There was plenty of QSB here in Maine with the signal going from S 0.2 to about S6  on the S meter. At minimum, they were barely copyable.  At best, they were loud. I used my Europe beverage and found that it was a tad better than my SW beverage. I am not sure what was going on there. The Europe wires is a pair of 1150 ft bevs, and the SW wire is shorter at about 800 ft. After making a contact, I experimented with diversity on the K3 and had the SW wire in my right ear and the 45 degree wire in my left ear.  Copy was better with diversity, but I think I need to check my beverage terminations!! Maybe it was an arrival angle situation that favored the longer wire's pattern.  I learn something every day.
