I got them on CW with my K3/10 and random wire antenna. It can take a bit of work. I use a straight key also, so have to pace myself a little more. (I probably don't send my callsign more than a few hundred times in one sitting, ha-hah...) I like to pretend that the hand-sent code gives me an edge over the rest.
I figure if I have to dial in APF and narrow filters that means the DX guys are probably not going to hear me, so I lay back a little; save my energy for when they are stronger, then pour it on. I also got VP8ORK and D44TBE in the past week. Maybe my antenna just works well for islands.. Somehow I managed to inadvertantly turn off SPLIT a couple of times. Sheesh! everybody makes mistakes... 73, Drew AF2Z On Sat, 12 Feb 2011 11:14:48 -0500 (EST), you wrote: >Anyone having luck getting the DXpedition S9DX. > >I am struck out since Thursday, any K3 tips or are they just not getting >out? > >Don >KD8NNU > > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
