[Elecraft] K3 band button perspective

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

FYI...

If someone says, "I like the low bands," I know that they mean
40/80/160.  The "high" bands are (before WARC) 20, 15, and 10.

ON4UN's book, covering operations on 40/80 and especially 160 is
titled LOW BAND DXING.

"If you like DXing on the low bands, 160, 80, 40, and 30 meters, these
sites may be of interest- they include info about both TX and low
noise receiving antennas and techniques."

Ham Radio: Low bands (160, 80, 40)
"Description:  Low band topics. Ham radio operators consider the 160
meter, 80/75 meter, and 40 meter bands to be the low bands. These
bands present challenges to ham radio antenna design (especially on
small lots), propagation (these bands are best at dawn and dusk - aka
grayline propagation), and noise (these bands often have weather
related noise)."

Since I never use the "band" toggle anymore (everything I need is in
the front panel memory buttons), this is moot for me.  But the current
labeling does make perfect sense to me, so I won't be adding any
additional labels.
