WRTC competitors must be highly competitive on both CW and SSB.
If you survey the most competitive contesters about their favorite (i.e., most effective) SSB radio you probably won't find a single contester that favors the K3. In fact, they would favor any of other manufacturer over Elecraft. CW is a different story where the K3 really shines as the favorite radio among the most competitive contesters. 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wes" <wes_n...@triconet.org> To: "Michael Walker" <va...@portcredit.net> Cc: "Elecraft@mailman.qth.net" <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Sunday, March 29, 2020 3:05:58 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] The Big Three...
