Drew: Cool collection of keys! Congrats. I was quite lucky to work them with my KX2 and a random wire out the window from my office during work hours. (Big Iron, rather Silicon is in the basement shack.) I would hit the MSG then PRE to send my call. After several hours of trying I was able to

According to their online log their last QSO was 08/11/2021@ 0237. They operated on 33 slots (band/modes).  Some of these were impossible for many of us: Satellite, 6-meters, 60-meter CW & SSB where they didn't listen in US channels (didn't stop some lids from working them) and 160 SSB, where

My K3S died a couple of weeks ago and I haven't found the power supply problem yet - difficult tracing as I don't have the board trace layout so finding components off the schematic isn't easy, LOL. On a lighter not, I replaced it as the shack rig with my KX2 and I've been having a blast
