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

Hi David,

Best of luck with getting up a good receiving antenna for the expedition. Is
that one for 20m which is probably the most likely the best chance for
getting this ATNO? When the Peter I Island (in the same general area)
expedition was out there, I could hear nothing but a whisper from them (and
as the saying goes, if you can't hear'em you can't work'em, and sure enough
I didn't), but I do have better antennas now for points south. I kind of
reckon that if I can't hear them with my regular transmitting antennas, they
won't hear me with my 100W on the same antennas either. So I have never
bothered with erecting special receiving antennas. I don't have the acreage
for it either. But I am crossing my fingers that this DX-pedition will
succeed (and be heard up here with no exceptional receiving antennas).
