Once you have a reasonably loud signal and an antenna that allows you to hear the DX, the most important attribute of a DX-oriented station is agility. You can tune the bands and when you hear something you need to be able to jump on it instantly. Get him before he's spotted and the pileup

The question is why you worked 15 ATNO's. It may be totally unrelated to the K LINE. One thing for sure you can't defeat the laws of physics. 1500 W -> 500 Watts is a 4.5 dB loss. That is huge in a pileup. So tell me how the K LINE makes up for that loss and then some. 73 de Brian/K3KO
