Speaking of sprints - the *REAL* sprint will be today from 00Z - 04Z
(saturday night local time in the USA).  Those of you working N6TR
on 20 or 80 meters will be QSOing with K3 SN #000013.  40 meters
will be my trusty Drake line since I don't have a second K3 yet.

I sure do like the look of those Drakes. When I was a kid I wanted one
in the worst way; never managed to get one.

I just noticed.... the grey/black color scheme on the Drakes reminds
me of the K2! Very appealing.

Is that really an optical connector for the mic on the K3? Heh,heh...
looks like photons coming out.
