I don't know who posted this originally, I just read it cross-posted 
to cq-contest. The articles were in fact by Peter Martin, G3PDM.

My favourite run rig for CW contests is my Ten-Tec Omni D which
is over 20 years old. No synthesizer or up-conversion, and therefore
excellent CW performance. I have an F1000MP but much prefer the
Ten-Tec for running. It leads me to wonder if one day Elecraft might 
come up with a K3, staying with the design philosophy of the K2 but 
designed with a few more features for the contester. This could be a 
serious contender as a contest radio.
