[Elecraft] KX3 case advice

I used a Pelican 1300 case to bring my KX3, PX3, cables MN3, KX3 
cw paddle, BNC-binding post adapter, home brew 6w dummy load, 
Pro Audio Engineering PAE-KX33 power supply, and more cables to 
New Hampshire via Southwest Airlines. I also had 2 wire antennas 
separately in the suit case, but most of the coax lives here.

Having just fought through the W1AW/4 pileup on 40M QRP cw, I'm 
quite happy with the results. Of course there are always 
improvements I can make to the antennas, but that will probably 
wait until next spring. I also have a number of UI issues with 
the PX3, but I'm trying to work with it. (That might be 
something for a different thread.)

For air travel, the Pelican works quite well. For backpacking, 
I'd like one of Rose's. Since she is just finishing 
chemotherapy, I would not expect her to have the energy for 
sewing. I'm wishing her a speedy recovery, so I can place my 
order. :-)
