[Elecraft] KX3 "DE-Xpedition" - K2N

[Chip Stratton]

Stan, Willis -

I MIGHT be able to make it to our submarine USS Batfish SS-301 to operate
from the LOP that day. And, I MIGHT have a KX3 by then - if not then my K2.
It should be a reasonable hop to Albany on 20m, not so sure about Galveston
though.

Like DE-238 our club has a TS-440 that resides on the submarine, though
there has been talk of finding a US made rig to replace it someday.

If I or another sub club member can make it, look for call WW2SUB.
