Program:
The Elecraft K3 by Erik Kramer KE1V
Erik will review his experiences building his Elecraft K3 HF rig. He will cover the options he chose and why and his initial operating experiences in some recent contests. Some time will also be spent on his overall station setup and future plans.
Our Guest Speaker:
Erik earned his Technician and General licenses a few years ago and was licensed as KB1MIC. A couple of years ago, he earned his Amateur Extra and is now KE1V. His modest setup includes a small tower in the back yard and he is interested in DIY activities and contesting. Erik until very recently was Secretary and a Board Officer of BARS.
