Given lead times, if the Dec/Jan ship date was not BS, then parts would
already have already been in transit before primary covid impacts were in
place. OK, that was missed.
I understand these are not normal times. And I live in Santa Clara County,
understand current density and watch county #s (and Health Orders being
ignored by the public).
That they aren't shipping on time now seems most immediately attributable
to covid, agreed. That this is the case is seems a result of either failure
to deliver or failure to honestly communicate last year.
We're now reaching the window of the most recent round of delivery
promises, yet I don't know anyone, including those who fronted cash a year
ago on a Nov date, who has even gotten final pricing yet.
Hence my frustration. I not only am impatient about getting the Shiny
(surprise), I feel deceived about how it has been handled by someone
sitting on thousands of dollars of my cash.

Say again? The virus began in Asia [Wuhan China to be exact] at the
very end of 2019. Many of the parts that Elecraft and every other
manufacturer uses are sourced out of Asia. Everyones' supply chains are
disrupted now but slowly improving.
Elecraft is based in California. The population density in California
is high ... high enough that if everyone stood 1 meter from everyone
else, some would be standing in Nevada and some in the Pacific Ocean.
[:=) From the news that leaks over the Sierra Nevada to Sparks,
Elecraft is really working to both resume normal production AND protect
their employees and families so they can continue normal production.

The parts availability issue was supposed to have been resolved
pre-covid.
Wondering what the facts are.
(not griefing you, just frustrated by Nov,Dec/Jan,Mar/Apr,Jul/Aug
