One night, 23 January 2008, during a lull in the action on a flight from Anchorage to Chicago, I tuned the #2 HF radio to 7.012 MHz and heard W9KNI calling cq dx asia. He was rewarded with quite a run. It was instructive simply to listen to him in qso with a number of stations during that run. He was running one KW to a three element yagi. He did not say what was driving the KW. I am thinking it was a K3 but don't know for sure.
I wish I had some way to get the HF radio on to cw (it only supports upper sideband and AM). I could probably get it done with a good audio oscillator and usb but am not sure if that would work properly. I would like to have tried to contact Bob. I wasn't really dx and certainly wasn't asia but I wonder if he's ever worked a B747 on HF cw.
