After several years of HF inactivity, I unboxed my new K3 last night in my 2nd floor home office in Falls Church, VA. In the back of my car I found an 8 or 9 foot piece of stranded ground wire from an electric fence project. I straightened it out as best I could, though there was still some "circular polarization" remaining. I jammed that in the center of the Ant 1 connector and started tuning around 40 meters. There were actually QSOs to be heard! Not only that, I listened to an S8-S9 Ø talking to an HB9 (not moving the meter but R2 or R3). This is going to be a sweet radio!
