...so there I am tuning across 20 meters and the band seems dead.
Having learned a lot about self-fulfilling prophesies across my 53 year
ham career, I go up to 14.060 and send one quick CQ.
A tiny signal appears but the KX3 has what it takes to make the most of
the situation. I manage to dig out N4KGL/6. He's about a 329; he gives
me a 449.
Seems Greg is sitting in a hotel room at LAX in front of his own KX3
hooked to a Buddistick.
We're both running 5 watts.
My antenna is a doublet in my attic in New York.
Coast-to-Coast on 5 watts and a couple of suboptimal antennas on a dead
band.
Ahhhhh....the joy of the unexpected!
