[Elecraft] KX2 water resistant case

[Fred Jensen]

Which begs a question I've pondered for awhile now ... "Why are they 
called 'Pelican' and not 'Elephant' cases?" Pelicans are fairly sturdy 
in the temperature department, but not so much if predators are around.  
Armadillo's don't survive vehicular traffic well so that might not be 
any better than a Pelican, however Tortoises are moderately sturdy ... 
and last a LONG time.  Cockroach Case might be the mother of all names 
for sturdy cases.

Just musings while listening to 6 meters on an 80-10 End-Fed wire strung 
on the fence.  So far, I've heard DM09.  Apparently, notwithstanding the 
fact that my K3/KAT3 will match it to 1.1:1 on 6, there are other 
parameters that matter too.
