[Elecraft] New Contest Transceiver

[Sandy]

WARC bands are "OK", but short paths that occur on 30 meters are very rare. 
It would have been nice if FCC had authorized CW dead on the "carrier 
frequencies" of the 60 meter channels!

This when 80 and 40 is "loaded" with contesters on weekends.

I still get the idea FCC wants to end Morse for good.  The ARRL seems to be 
going along with this trend.
