Re: [Elecraft] Will there be a K4

Folks - Let's end the "Will there be a K4?" , "Touchscreen" and related threads now. Very interesting suggestions and comments, but we are wy past the reasonable number of allowed posts on a topic :-) . I was tied up most of the day here and just now got back on reading my email.   Wow!

Re: [Elecraft] Possible OT: Bouvet Island again

And with that, thread REALLY closed :-) Please, no more 'last word' posting on this topic.  20 posts is well over a reasonable OT limit. I suspect this topic is overloading many of our other readers on the list. Just remember - every email posted here goes to close to 7000 direct email
