Not exactly local - good 2 hours drive for me (in UK, that considered longish). however, I would expect that most UK hams have bought from this dealing at some time in their radio lives and probably quite a bit. We just don't seem to have 'local' shops like you guys do, although I do have another one only about 30 mins away. In self defence, I wouldn't need to try an Elecraft product first! 73 de David, M0XDF (K3 #174, P3 #108)
