meters? Watch for openings? Etc. Also, is the pre-amp a good investment if I
am going to do more 6 meters>

Same here Tony. Heard DK and S5 very weakly. It was very cool to hear the
W7 stations working EU and quite the variety of callsigns too. I bet such a
path is rare. We'll have our day. 73, Bob K3UL

And coming from Lance, you know it has to be a big one!
Here is what the QSO's looked like at the height of the action.

Hello Dave,
Well, I sure hope you were on this morning for the biggest Es opening ever from
North
America to Eastern and Northern EU! Watch the ON4KST 6m chat pages and maps
for
signs that things are starting to open. It went from the northeast USA all the

There is a cure! Continue to drink from the 6M well. Bigger antennas, more
power, lower loss fee
It appears that 6 meters is at least marginally open this morning. Just worked
a couple of VE3 stations on 6 CW from the Wichita, KS area.

I can testify this is true. Last night about 10:15pm cdt, I decided to see what

David,
Your symptoms clearly indicate that you are suffering from 6m Bugitis, and I
regret to have to tell you that there is no known cure!
As you point out there is a lot going on on 6m, even during the lean times,
more than one would believe from reading the text books. Also don't be
fooled
Hi All,
I seem to be digging myself a bigger and bigger hole called 6 meters! First
I just decided to see what could be heard on that band. Not much--at least
at first. But then I got a dose of sporadic E, and things started getting a
bit more interesting. Then one of my friends talked me i
And why has Elecraft failed to open the band?

Hi Wayne,
Good points. You had also mentioned the need for an amp if I wanted more TX
power than the XV50 provides. Another good point.
But, if I decide to keep my XV50 will you make me a black metal chassis
housing with white lettering so that it will match my K-3? :o)
Thanks and best to all

The K3 is not an up-conversion design. With the exception that the
second IF is digital and rather low, it is more like the double
conversion amateur bands superhets that preceded the big
IMD these days or if we
could afford it?
Question, can you hear IMD off the air or just the artifacts?
As Wayne said earlier everything is a trade off.

Much forethought was put into this (at the design stage). We knew ahead

the internal preamp, due to the losses in the T-R switching and narrow
band-pass filtering. Both were required for this design.
