[Elecraft] 3d2r

[Val]

Tony, Lance,

There are only some 3D2R  operators, which have been on ST0R, but the 
organization is totally different as well as the lineup. N6PSE is not a 
leader, and if there are any K3 and KPA500, they have been brought by 
members as personal equipment. Otherwise the transceivers there are IC7000, 
hi.
And this is T32C DX expedition, which container (full with Yaesu gear) is 
stuck somewhere in the middle of Pacific. Anyway, they must start today with 
FT450s, hi.
GL working both expeditions!
