[Elecraft] WRTC 2014 - Congratulations, Elecraft!...(and firmware update)

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

It appears the official report of transceivers and software is here:
     http://www.wrtc2014.org/radios-and-software-used/

The K3 was used by more than four times as many competitors than rigs
from any other manufacturer (Elecraft: 75, Yaesu: 16, Icom: 15,
Kenwood: 8, Ten-Tec: 2).  Interestingly, 41 of the 59 teams (nearly
70%) used a K3.

73,

    ... Joe, W4TV
