Just to qualify what I mean by high run rates: -------------- Q S O R a t e S u m m a r y --------------------- Hour 160 80 40 20 15 10 Rate Total Pct -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1200 0 0 0 0 0 173 173 226 9.1 1300 0 0 0 0 0 186 186 412 16.6 1400 0 0 0 0 0 200 200 612 24.6 1500 0 0 0 0 0 163 163 775 31.2 1600 0 0 0 0 0 112 112 887 35.7 1200 0 0 0 0 0 128 128 1481 59.6 1300 0 0 0 0 0 155 155 1636 65.8 1400 0 0 0 0 0 144 144 1780 71.6 1500 0 0 0 0 0 163 163 1943 78.2 1600 0 0 0 0 0 128 128 2071 83.3 1700 0 0 0 0 0 138 138 2209 88.9 The best 60 minute rate was 217/hour from 1349 to 1448 The best 30 minute rate was 228/hour from 1358 to 1427 The best 10 minute rate was 246/hour from 1418 to 1427 The best 1 minute rates were: 6 QSOs/minute 7 times. 5 QSOs/minute 32 times. 4 QSOs/minute 122 times. 3 QSOs/minute 238 times. 2 QSOs/minute 328 times. 1 QSOs/minute 425 times. The 1.8k is a nice tool when working a weak DX station who is running the pileup. It is very poor if you're the one who is running and attempting to work callers at high rates (i.e. getting the call correctly the first time without repeats). I'll be selling my 1.8k in favor of a 2.1k after my recent experience. 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Filter-question-SSB-tp6981339p6981677.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
