[Elecraft] A Modified K3 in the 2013 ARRL DX Contest

[Giancarlo Moda]

Hi Joe,

sorry for the trouble accessing the MODS.DK site.

As reported by Arie PA3A, you have to register into the account, it is done to protect it.

I believe mods.dk is the largest web site where you can find a lot of manuals, schematics, mods and other important informations.

I will send you the file to your direct address.

Mods.dk is a password protected site.  Unregistered users can not
access this file information.  It would be far better to post the
information on a public server.
