[Elecraft] K3: QRQ high-speed QSK

[Jim Miller KG0KP]

During a recent contest, one speedy cw op was cruising something over 30 wpm 
but was hard to copy as there was no tone at all on his signal, nothing but 
key clicks were being transmitted.  No, he was not near me.  Unknown radio. 
Not something I would want anybody to identify me with sending.

73, de Jim KG0KP
