[Elecraft] K3 at Shelby

[bradley.d.hedges at us.army.mil]

Both Dick, WB7OND, and myself (AL4T) live in Fayetteville and have ordered K3's... However Dick's is in the 2d batch, mine in the 3d - and I'm in Iraq and *probably* won't make it back for Shelby this year...

8>(

Hopefully I'll be there again next year, though.

And still more hopefully, I've been in contact with the Iraqi Amateur Radio folks and there is a very slight possibility that the ARS in in Iraq may be reinstated before I redeploy (I've still got about a year left). My K3 is shipping to me here, so if it's legal to transmit, I devoutly hope to be on for ARRL DX CW, at least. Hopefully more, and both before and after that. We'll see.

73,
Brad
