[Elecraft] OT KX3 wannabe in photo of Qct QST

[Joe Reed]

That was mighty lame.  From the photo it looks like an ancient Yaesu.  Hence the need for the Honda generator.  

But hey, he got his 15 minutes of fame, along with unending mockery.  Perhaps a bit of grog with his "sustenance"?

What I find more annoying is the ARRL didn't vet the photo first before publishing. I thought hams used to work there. Oh well perhaps this is the new paradigm for ham radio journalism.
