[Elecraft] Elecraft KX1 mini-log attaches to back cover

[Aron Brown]

Gotta Love the way Wayne thinks. These templets work great. I did need to
enlarge them some to fit on to my KX1. For some reason the template as sent
was about 90% the size that fit the rig. Now I am ready to hit the field and
travel. There is even enough room to write notes on the back if you do
happen to have a pen or pencil handy, by just turning over the log. Thanks
again Wayne for another great idea.
