[Elecraft] K3's and VP6DX

[Joe-aa4nn]

Hey Lee, how's this for confidence in Elecraft...
In 2004 a bunch of us were going to Banaba, T33C,
and team members were building K2/100s for this rare
DXpedition. I don't mind telling you I was apprehensive
about newly built rigs lasting the duration due to things
like cold solder joints showing up later and especially
after being bumped and smacked around in the luggage.
Plus, at the zero hour we ordered a bunch of upgraded
chips which were to be installed while convening in Fiji
Islands. Lots of new things from Elecraft yet the K2s
performed perfectly and it was all just amazing.
de Joe, aa4nn
