Since I lived through the CB Heyday of the 1970s all I need to know is that it
is from the same nice people that gave every CBer his dream rig, the FT-101,
but the weight carries great weight with me.
I like to put my K3 in a brief case and the power supply, key, mike and some
tools in another and carry it out to the USS Cavalla, SSK-244 on Pelican
Island, TX. I can carry both brief cases, along with my ample 69 year old
body on board, down the ladder and through two bulkhead ports to the radio room
in one trip. And, I have a first class transceiver when I get there! Also,
it fits in the not so ample space that is available. I don't think I could
make it with a FT5000.
Look for me June 6&7 for the Museum Ships of the Air weekend. CW ops are
centered around 40 KHz above the bottom of the bands. I will be on 20 and 40
and the higher bands if they are open. We also have the USS Stewart, DE-214
along side which will be operating SSB. We will both be using KK5W, the Brazos
Valley ARC club call sign. We count two ships for one plus NA-143 for IOTA
