[Elecraft] KX3/KX2 remote for FD

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I agree, specially on the first sentence.   I've been participating in 
FD since the very early '60's.  However it has become a "contest" to see 
who and what organization can accumulate the most points.  A contact is 
a contact, a multiplier is a mathematical term.    It has no place in 
Field Day operation.
