Yeah the thing to remember though.. when theres good e-skip, I bet you
can work people on a cheap dummy load. Thats why its called the magic band.
I routinely work people with my sdr-1000, on good e-skip, that things
pretty deaf on 6 with a 1/2 watt out.

So I only used the PRE2 preamp on the F3K. Holy smokes! I had noise floor
at -150 dBm, and the band was on fire for Es. Easily worked all over US
with 100 watts and a 4 element yagi at 40 feet. I even worked 9H1XT.
Amazing receiver. No need for a pre-amp at the antenna, save yourself some
$$$.
