[Elecraft] Field day radio

[Jim Lowman]

Well, count me (us) as biased.  For the past few years, the Zuni Loop 
QRP Field Day has been an almost-exclusively Elecraft event.
Most stations use a K2, and one operator brought his K3.  Last year, Cam 
received his KX3 just in time to bring it and put it through its paces.
I expect that we'll see more KX3s this year.

BTW, this will be the 30th anniversary of the Zuni Loop Mountain 
Expeditionary Force Field Day, from 7,000' in the San Gabriel Mountains 
of southern California.
In honor of the anniversary, I secured the special event callsign K6Z.  
Hope everyone will look for us when the time comes.
