[Elecraft] (OT maybe) 3Y0I Bouvet using K3's?

[David Olean]

Darn! I better get going on a new beverage for 140 degrees or so. I have 
one at 180 and another at 100 degrees, but neither is optimum.  I had a 
temporary one last season for the aborted Bouvet DxPedition,  but I took 
it down as it was in the way for mowing my field. It was only 4 ft off 
the ground.   I could find no date when they were to be QRV, but if they 
are in ZS Africa it must be really soon. Ground has not frozen yet.
