Re: [Elecraft] My K3 is Sick!
K3 7956 is sick enough to score FT5ZM on 17CW/SSB, 20CW/SSB, 30CW, 40CW/SSB, and 80CW, with 100w, inverted L and a cobwebb. Of course that's not to say any other 100watt radio wouldn't have worked them also but since we're bragging up our K3s.lol. 73 Gary KC9EE __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Elecraft] My K3 is Sick!
But the King's English is not what is spoken in America, or in much of the world. The guiding reference The King's English was printed in 1906, some 20 years before the production of Modern English Usage in the 1920s almost 100 years ago. American English has evolved some since then. International or Business English has also evolved. Sick meaning good has been in use since the 1980s and a roughly similar meaning was around in the 1920s. Wouldn't it be terrible if ham radio was associated with Pop culture. Oh my! You might have to deal with young people! You know, like those in their 60s.

Re: [Elecraft] My K3 is Sick!
Ain't it fun? Did basically the same thing this morning but instead of my K3, I fired up the KX3 and using my SPLIT macro (sets it up 2KHz). Had it on a non-resonant vertical and forgot to switch over to the beam. Heard a K6 just 2 KHz up from FT5ZM's TX frequency finish and I jumped in with a call -- BINGO! They came right back. First time I've gotten a DXpedition on one call with the KX3. (I've done it a few with the K3/KPA500 combination though.) I've had a lot of people ask me, What good is the P3 anyway? You just proved what I always tell them, If you haven't got one, you'll never believe my answer. Jim - W0EB Sick seems to be the word the kids at the Olympics now use to describe an exceptional performance, as in, Dude, that gold medal run you just did was totally sick! So, I tune in to 10 meters CW this morning to see what FT5ZM is up to. As usual, the pileup is S9 and about 20 khz wide. I'm running my K3 at five watts, into a G5RV wire antenna up about 30 feet. And it's snowing. But, what the heck. I widen the P3 range to see the whole pileup, look for a minute to see where he's listening, punch up my Split macro, and call. Once. Back he comes, first time. 73, John W3DN __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] My K3 is Sick!
Sick as a superlative really caught me by surprise. I learned it from my daughter who was 12 at the time. Thirty years earlier it was bad, another lesson in irony. I hope Websters is keeping up.
