Hi, Pleased to report I just completed 6M EME QSO's with W7GJ (first) and W1JJ (second) using the K3 to an Acom 1000 to an Optibeam OB5-6 (5el) at 50 feet pointing over Stanley harbour. The Acom was running 900W and soaking up the spikes OK.
Compared to the K2+XV50 the K3 is not quite as good. I get approximately 3dB more antenna noise from the K2 combo. However, for a little antenna guy working two huge antenna guys I'm pretty pleased and a first VP8/F to W via EME. Regards, Mike VP8NO _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
