I worked a few qrp stations on 40 meters and one with the new elecraft kx-3
running 10 watts. It sounded a bit narrower than I'd want to sound but he
could have been off frequency, everyone was a bit high to me after they
switched my radio out due to another one having more filters. I think that
radio may have been a bit off transmit frequency though the rit and xit were
off, it's the same radio as I have for a backup radio and had there so I
know it well. Next year if I bring it back it will have the optional filters
in it
