160 Meter CQWW

W7QC Steve — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 18:53:55 +0000

The CQWW 160 meter contest was fun. My electric fence noise was present but not as bad as it has been. I operated both nights between about 4:00 pm and midnight. The first night was much more productive than the second. I ended up with 469 contacts, 53 state/provinces and 8 countires for a final score of 71,797. I only remember calling a couple of stations that did not come back to me and only a couple of stations that I could not copy.

K3 Up and running

My K3 was delivered on Nov 7th around noon. I had it assembled and was making contacts by 8:00 pm that evening. I plan to bring it to the Nov breakfast for show and tell and should be able to hook it up to my mobile antenna for a demonstration.

K3 Shipped!

Today I received word that my K3 has shipped. It will be here on Wednesday, November 7th. So just a bit over 6 months since I placed my order. Since it is a kit, i will have to assemble it when it arrives. My estimate is 6 to 8 hours to have it fully assembled.

K3 Shipping

The first K3 was shipped on Tuesday, October 9, 2007. I have heard nothing regarding my order but expect to get it in the next couple of weeks. I have the Assembly manual and the Operators Manual so I have some reading until the radio arrives.
