When it comes to amplifiers, boring is definitely good.
A long time ago I was operating a DX contest at a multi-op. One of the
amplifier power supplies was in a heavy steel cabinet on casters
underneath the operating table about 4 feet away. It was about 3 am and
very quiet in the shack (CW c

The K3 is a fabulous dxpedition radio, we only had one KPA500 and that was
on the CW station. That is one very boring amplifier, it just sat in the
corner and worked its socks off ;)
But, Ian, isn't this one of those rare cases when boring is good? No
breakdowns, no spurrious emissions to worr
Although smaller than most of the other dxpeditions, our trip to Tiree
(Inner Hebrides, MS0WRC) last October used 4 K3's (all owned by team
members) and one FT2K. We made 12500 Q's in the week on SSB and CW and
continually got unsolicited complimentary audio reports from them. There

It is a bummer that with my work and travel schedule they lost one of my five

will recover them.
Funny about TN2T because about two hours after I paid for the QSL card handling
I received the LOTW confirms. Now I will

VP6T and TN2T set the standard when it comes to handling logs and
confirmations. Unlike HK0NA who appear to have lost significant
sections of their logs, VP6T had *confirmations* on Logbook of the

Yes, and more DXPeditions would be using K3s if the JA companies didn't
have deeper pockets than Elecraft. Think about the cost of

Thanks for noticing, Bill :) The HK0NA crew certainly did a great job,
as have other recent DXpeditions using K3s, etc.
DXpedition use of our gear has been a source of input and inspiration
for us, and we provide a lot of support to the teams. Many hardware
and firmware refinements now in sh
Surprised the lack of comments on this subject, unless I missed it. I do want
to thank the Elecraft gang for their support of the HK0NA operation. I have
been a ham for 57yrs and had NEVER chased a single HF DXpedition, but I got the
