Eric, Yep, future generations will most likely blame us for not trying harder.
Although I am obviously not in the US now, I have spent some 15 years living and working in the US (had my own business for 7 years) and I am very impressed with Elecraft products. The amazing thing about Elecraft is not so much their technology, which is top shelf, but their commitment to their customer base and their total support of all their products, old and new. I have been scratching my head for some time trying to think of a company in Australia, in any area of manufacturing that enjoys the level of customer appreciation that Elecraft receives from it's customers and I am afraid I have come up short, yet again. When I first read about Elecraft I was stunned to find out that not only were they a US company, but all design and manufacturing is actually done IN the US. We all know about components etc, but to manufacture their products in the US really surprised me. No more rice boxes for me...Grin 73's Gary On Mon, Aug 2, 2010 at 2:49 PM, eric manning <[email protected]>wrote: > Tom W8JI said: > > "If we want to see what manufacturing we have left survive" > > I think you'd d**n well better want to see US manufacturing survive! > > An economy based on the financial "products" [aka snake oil] produced by > the kids in red suspenders on Wall Street is a house of cards, a recipe > for disaster. > Nor can it generate enough worthwhile employment for the population. > > Future generations will look back on the outsourcing of US > manufacturing jobs, the dismantling of a very large chunk of your > economy for short-term gain, > and shake their heads in amazement that the perpetrators were allowed to > get away with it. > > And no, it is not off topic for this reflector - Elecraft provides > proof by example that electronics manufacturing can be done profitably and > well in the US. > > eric > VA7DZ > > -- > This message has been scanned for viruses and > dangerous content by MailScanner, and is > believed to be clean. > > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[email protected] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > -- Gary VK4FD - Motorhome Mobile http://www.qsl.net/vk4fd/ K3 #679 For everything else there's Mastercard!!! ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
