[Elecraft] Happy But Very Sad

[Jim Lowman]

One of the members of the Zuni Loop QRP Field Day has brought his K3
for the past two years that I recall.  Count was three K2s, one K3, one KX3,
an Argonaut V and my K2 that I brought as backup.

In the past I would have worried about bringing a personal transceiver
worth that much to any location outside of the house, but now I'm
thinking otherwise, inasmuch as many DXpeditions feature K3s.

Power for this QRP K3 was a 100-Ah battery that took two guys to carry
to the 20m tent.
