[Elecraft] Bad start to FD - smoked a K3!!!!

[Milt, N5IA]

K3s and KWs worked great at VP6DX for more than 186,000 Qs.

4 transmitters at one location and 3 transmitters at another location; at 
each location transmitting simultaneously within a 400' diameter circle, 24 
hpd for 17 days.

My trademarked definition of our operation was "Field Day and Boy Scout Camp 
combined, on steroids".

YMMV, de Milt, N5IA

I guess all of those DXpeditions using K3s are running QRP.

It ain't against the rules, but it sure is stupid, with all the other
RX's within a 500? foot radius, who could copy anything while that LID
is transmitting? It's a wonder he didn't fry some other RX's (or
maybe he did).
