I thank Mike for this subject line, and would request that all whining
follow on with this subject line.
This will allow me to appropriately send all said subject line to it own
email folder.
I can speak to this as I did plop down all the bucks at Dayton.

I did not put down a deposit on a K4. When I heard about the first case of
Covid, that stopped me in my tracks. Yes, I know many weren't so lucky and
put $$ down at "Dayton".
I watch the videos from Elecraft or read the great synopsis from fellas like
Kimo, KH7U(and others) and read the mail on the various email lists here and
there to get an idea when the K4 might be available.
I am actually holding out for a K4HD (or 2!) to do SO2R contesting.
I don't think you'd want even BI-WEEKLY updates from a company struggling to
meet demands.
What company would do that anyways? If you are not aware of what they've
been up against, you must have been living under a rock the past 16 months.
Nearly everyone understands what it takes to make a K4 and why they just
can't supply one at this moment. I am sure they'd love to ship 5000 units
this week, IF THEY COULD.
Covid-19, wildfires, staff sickness, staff retirements, price increases,
product redesign and probably more that we have no idea about or have any
business knowing.
So, why don't you fellas please cut them a little slack and if you're really
just mad and can't get over it, just apply to get your $$ back and go buy a
YaeKenCom radio or 40 year old Heathkit.
The whining is getting loud.
No amount of it will help.
