I could not agree more the days of twist and shout are over for the shack, but for portable with my KX3 it's fine.

For me it was at once a frustrating and a magical experience far removed from today's shacks filled with huge flat panels displaying the activity across the band at a glance, the computer screens showing the latest activity reported on the internet, and rigs that QSY anywhere in the spectrum at the touch of a single button. As an old pilot, for me it's the difference between floating through the sky in my J3 "Cub" with little more than an altimeter and a big windshield in from of me and visiting a modern airliner cockpit filled with glass panel displays and computers actually doing the flying while the pilot sips a cup of coffee. 73 Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- It's still as tough as it's always been, just like a hailstorm of callers for which you need a good rx and even better ears to sort out. As the population of P3s and other panadapters expands, more random listening might help, rather than ploughing a furrow.
