You can tell that your K3's handle has the Elecraft Mojo Core if it has a slight curve in it, due to being hand-carried through airports and ports to some exotic DX QTH, where the Core gets downloaded over the air from other Elecrafties in the pileups, using the Elecraft Mojo Transfer Protocol (EMTP).
Even if you only operate at home, provided you work enough exotic DX with your Elecraft gear, the Core will eventually accumulate in the handle from all the pileups and DX QSOs and gradually a gentle curve will set in. If your K3 has a flat handle, you are evidently not working enough DX. Taking the rig to somewhere such as Wake Island or Peter I will speed up the mojo transfer and the curvature process dramatically. 73 Gary ZL2iFB > -----Original Message----- > From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft- > boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of iain macdonnell - N6ML > Sent: Tuesday, 7 February 2012 10:01 a.m. > To: Bill > Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Any need for the handle? > > On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 12:55 PM, Bill <b...@w2blc.net> wrote: > > is there a need for the handle?
