Might as well include a Ten-Tec Orion II also, you know, just for
comparison.. :-)

Wow....And I thought Scott and I were competitive about things. Guys, since
I am about to tear down everything outside and erect two towers and stacks,
PLUS some type of RX antenna, I don't foresee the purchase of a new rig in
the near future. However, if either was inclined to DONATE a K3 or MP, or
both, I would be happy to do a long term test and comparison, and give you
my results in a year or two. Just saying...

Just think of what their scores would have been if they had K3's!!!!

My point was simple too.  "The reviews state.." describes the use of K3s by
a majority of participants in the WRTC2010 competition.  The rest of the
story is that 3 of the 5 top WRTC2010 teams used FT-1000MPs.

My point to Mark using Icom 756 Pro II's was simple.  Your antenna system
only gets you so far. Admittedly a long way. The Elecraft K3 is a great
radio for pulling out weak signals or signals that are near the noise level
or close in working with crowded bands during contests.  You need a great
receiver to do that and the K3 has one of the best.

Or, you could use an FT-1000MP like the 1st and 2nd place team used..

Maybe you could gain by the use of Elecraft K3's....
