What I found most ironic was the the facing page was a full page ad for the Elecraft KX2/3 -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/OT-KX3-wannabe-in-photo-of-Qct-QST-tp7622551p7622587.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Post production screwups happen all the time. I had it happen to me when I was a Tech Editor at QST in the mid-80's. Stuff happens. However, in this case, it might not have been, but always benefit of the doubt. Tom,, W1TEF On 9/16/2016 8:43 PM, Joe Reed wrote: That was mighty lame.

Good rig ID, Mike. Yes the TS-830S was a fine rig. And it looks like his mic is the MC-60A. You have to wonder about the wisdom of running even 100 Watts into the MFJ loop while sitting that close to it. 73, Phil W7OX On 9/16/16 6:46 PM, Mike Morrow wrote: It looks nothing like an
