Topband: Wednesday CW DX Activity Night

2020-11-17 Thread Roger Kennedy
Well DX conditions have been pretty good the last few evenings . . . although not that many stations on the band having QSOs. Hopefully we'll see plenty of activity tomorrow night ! (there were at least 60 stations on CW working DX last Wednesday, it was really good) 73 Roger G3YRO

Topband: K-3 Settings on Topband

2020-11-17 Thread Bill Gillenwater
My first attempts at setting up an early serial number K-3. Second owner, back from Elecraft after updates etc. It has all of the filters and sub-receiver etc.  Is there somewhere I can get a list of recommended setting for lowband receive work? Signals are more readable that on my 1000MP
