[Elecraft] K3/0

[N2TK, Tony]

Ron,
The shack looks like it didn't change much like it was in the 60's? Used to
run MARS phone patch traffic. I had thought the Rhombic was 3-curtain?
Tnx for the pix.

By the way, I don't remember for sure, but didn't Ft. Lewis, WA MARS station
have a Rhombic on base and another Rhombic in OR tied together for dual
diversity? I vaguely remember something about this. It was for phone patch
traffic to Southeast Asia.

Ron,

That's just how K2USA, Fort Monmouth, NJ, worked until the base closed down
forever a few months ago.  I've previously posted to this list how much I
enjoyed operating on their 700' rhombic when there, and it was always using
my own call.  Sometimes I used my K1, sometimes a borrowed Ten-Tec Jupiter,
and what a shack!

(Some pics from my last time there June '10 are at:
