If you want to hear how a KX3 and qrp sounds when DX ... I'm qrv from C5 as C5/M1KTA local sun rise and sun set from the beach with a vertical dipole, working NA no problem, SSB and CW. 72 Dom C5/M1KTA __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Can't resist the brag... My best qrp is VK2KM on 20 meter RTTY Long Path with one watt (he has an amazing yagi), but the prize so far should go to WA2DKJ who worked C6 (1100+ miles from Northern NJ) on CW with his K2 at 1 milliwatt, using calibrated attenuators and measured with an HP power

Excellent! And it will just keep getting better as you get more used to QRP operation. In Summer 2012, I was out back dabbling around using the KX3 at 100 mW CW on a dipole at 30 feet, calling CQ on and off at 10106 KHz. Heard a weak signal reply, and cranked up the AF gain into the headphones.

Did it today: KMPW (thousand miles per watt) - from /2 in Bellport NY to UY6IM in Donetsk, Ukraine, on 10M CW. Google Earth says it¹s 5001.19 miles. KX3 running on batteries hence limited to 5 watts; antenna an indoor dipole strung between second floor bedroom doorknobs. Others have done

Congratulations, Ted. Excellent job with the indoor antenna. I have worked 6W2SC from Japan through long path on 14/18 CW and VP2MRV through short path on 14 CW with my KX3 5W and 2 element cubical quad. KX3 is excellent in QRP. More than that is it can pick up weak signals with strong signals
