[Elecraft] K3 - Expedition version

[T. David Yarnes]

I had a fairly long and enjoyable QSO the other evening with 
K7HI (Howard) on 40 meters.  He was using an NC40A and a 
whip antenna on a container ship returning from Hawaii to 
Seattle.  He was about 1200 miles SW of Seattle at the time. 
Anyway, his signal was outstanding for just 2 watts.  He was 
579 to 599 the entire QSO.  It's gotta be the water!
