[Elecraft] K3 as WSPR transmitter

[Eric Norris]

I've run my K3 at 5 watts on WSPR, at up to 20% tx percentage, for a week
at a time.  However, the case will get quite warm unless I run a 12v
low-speed fan pointed at the right side of the case.  I'll leave it to the
engineers as to whether this is necessary, but having the case stay
stone-cold makes me feel better.  Fans are available from Amazon and
everywhere else.
