Hi Guys We at D4C, get seriously the Contest, trying to win, last CQWW SSB and CW we had 11 K3, with several different configuration, 6 were Main Radio and 5 ( 10 to 80 ) were support Radio, with dual RX capability multidirectional RX antennas and inBand Antenna too, all fitted into the several BNC input as RX, or SUB RX input.
The comments of the over 25 ops, ( 14 of them will attend to the next WRTC ) was, amazing, no interference, antennas are located not far form 200 m from the shack, no noise interference, integration of good filter, both in TX and RX with the great capabilities of the K3’s and flexible multidirectional antennas, has created a great efficient MM station. The configuration of all the K3 were identical, so operators can move between bands, without worry about, equalizer, filters, or mic control, no one had touched these configuration during the contest, because during the contest ur are busy to run … So as mentioned, DXped and or MM setup, are easy to do with K3, obviously u still need to take care of the environment, including antennas, filters and all other stuff that can help to have the right success. 73 de Fabio I4UFH / D4C SSB Team Leader Il giorno 14/apr/2014, alle ore 20:30, Ray Sills <raysil...@verizon.net> ha scritto: > Hi Keith: > > I'd have to agree with Don.. and don't forget, some people just like to > participate in a contest.. for the fun of it, and perhaps working a "new one" > ... as opposed to trying to win the contest.
