I don't want to beat this horse too much. However I thought of this issue
already.
Owners tend to buy upgrades and accessories irrespective of who originally
bought the kit. This means that the list will tend to be self-correcting
over time when the new owner decides to buy more stuff for the pre-owned
rig. Also the advertising kit builders don't buy the kits, the owner buys
the kits and Elecraft ship the kits to directly to the builders (I think).

I completely understand Eric, which is why I proposed Elecraft ask the
question of publicity at the time of sale. if the answer is yes, then that
customer is happy to be in the "hall of fame".
While it sounds a good idea at first thought, Tony, it would have very
limited use or accuracy. K2/K1/KX1 rigs are sold secondhand and some guy
on here claims to have built 70 K2s for other people. I personally feel
that much of the kick of using a K2 is because one has built it and got it
going oneself, but the fact it that a database at the point of sale would
be highly inaccurate.
