[Elecraft] new K3 owner

[Gary Smith]

Everything Ed said; Check.

I used 18 egg, egg cartons to hold parts and cut card stock in 
strips, labelled them according to small part & then taped them in 
the individual egg holders with those parts in the egg "socket". 
Didn't knock over like cups would have and kept everything separate 
till the end. No spare parts when I was done.

& P.S.; Good choice, the K3!
