[Elecraft] New Elecraft product: 80/30 meter module for the KX1 transciever

[David F. Reed]

Wayne,

this is very exciting news to me; with 80 being quite alive thanks to 
winter, and active, thanks to poor propagation on higher bands, adding 
80 comes at a great time; I look forward to the release of the module, 
and will jump in line to buy it!

Keep up the good work!
