Hi all,
In a contest-crowded band I always use the spot function on my K3, even if I=
'm going to tune off a little with XIT. I am hoping that this will give me t=
he best reception under bad conditions and with the dsp closed down. This s=
hould put me zero-beat with my "prey".
We hear so much today about dishonest people in the media that it makes us s=
uspect everyone even before we have hard evidence. That might be ok when th=
e NSA is checking airline passengers, but in an amateur radio event with a c=
ode of honor that is going too far (even if a few might not be honorable!). =

I was in the event just for fun--with only 59 contacts I'm not competitive, b=
ut I have fun!
