As a mostly CW OP chasing DX I find the P3 to be a huge advantage in watching the behavior of the DX OP to determine his likely next move and place my signal accordingly. I got mine when I was still QRP and I credit it with allowing me to achieve DXCC in just three months. I've since added the 100w option and now the KPA500 but being loud doesn't help if you're in the wrong place.
With the P3 it's almost like cheating. BTW, loud to me is loud compared to my previous 5W existence. My QTH is in a CCR no antennas neighborhood so my modest antennas lurk in the woods. Wire dipoles, wire verticals and a hexbeam (also wires.) 73 jim ab3cv ______________________________________________________________ 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
