[Elecraft] The K3 and the future

[Vic Rosenthal K2VCO]

No, I didn't miss this.

There is nothing like the K3 for multi-transmitter contests, DXpeditions 
and field day. I hope 4X4DK has one -- I can see his beam from my roof! 
But there are still areas of improvement for the K3.

If Rob comes to visit, I have a comfortable couch/bed he can sleep on. 
My station is set up and my license renewed, but the bureaucracy is 
grinding very slowly on the "non-ionizing radiation permit" that I need 
to put up my antenna.
