The Spratly Island guys (9M4SLL) have been very weak here, never more than S3, and to make matters worse I am suffering from a plague of atmospheric noise on some bands at certain times. It seemed that my only chance would be to get 'em on CW, since the signals are so poor, but when I got home today they were spotted only on 17 SSB. I tuned for them, but could hear only an occasional syllable through S6 noise. Nothing to lose -- I turned on both NB and NR and twiddled the knobs. Lo and behold, I could copy the op! Poorly, but enough to make it worth calling him. And sure enough!! So I owe that QSO entirely to the excellent noise handling of the K3. Both NB and NR have advanced tremendously since the early versions, a tribute to Elecraft's determination to keep improving their product after it ships. Here is a clear-cut case where an apparently impossible QSO happened because of great performance from the K3.
