[Elecraft] k3 and field day

[dmoes at nexicom.net]

I agree that this is risky but Id like to point out thatit will be 
used by a core group.   who are pretty dedicated and they are all used 
to some pretty nice rigs just none a K3    It will not be the GOTA 
station we have a ts430 for that.  I am just wanting to avoid to much 
confusion.  If we all had a few old rigs kicking arround we would use 
them.   having the config files to correct  someones  boo boo is a 
great idea.  I guess I would have thought of that eventually.
