[Elecraft] KX3 and Field Day

[Stephen Selberg]

Eric,

Sounds like you had a good time out there. I sent a few people your way who
are interested in getting into the hobby. Thanks for going out to Central
park and doing that. Maybe next year ill bring my KX3 and we can operate a
2B station.

73,

Steve KS6PD

KX3 #3604

P.s.  are u familiar with a group that gets together on Mondays at 1200L at
Henry Schmit park that operates qrp portable?
