Hi Ken I would prefer a free K3,airplane tickets for the Dayton Hamvention and a K3 Coffee mug.
Anyone one of these I would expect from Elecraft, bless their souls they so kind. As the saying goes, keep on dreaming! A better alternative would be joining any London Merchant Bank, I hear that they are giving out Millions of tax payer dollars in bonuses. I must be cursed I dont have a bankers job!
