[Elecraft] K3 P3 and KAT500

[KG7FYI]

Thanks K2ULR. I have fond memories of calling home from Okinawa in '64 
via MARS. It was a fantastic service to the troops. Now I hear there is 
very little of that going on. Satellite internet seems to be the rage. 
We do have several MARS folks in our club and one in the immediate area 
of concern.
