[Elecraft] K3 Cooling

[Brett Howard]

I don't get why it needs to generate any papers or studies or anything.
Its a really easy experiment to do.  Transmit into a known load and plot
temperature rise vs time.  Do it under the same conditions and better
yet do each experiment several times and average results.  Then all you
have to do install the fans in the direction that generated the best
performance.  I'd even be willing to bet that Elecraft did just this.
