Re: [Elecraft] k3 weekly update
Whatever happened to free speech? There are all sorts of things that somebody will find offensive. It's a strange world we live in where we have the freedom to call the government a bunch of crooks and idiots, but not to make a parody of some ethnic group, not even in a context that made it clear it was supposed to be humorous. Somebody should get this Jive Translator site shut down, it is clearly a threat to our civilized society. -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???

Re: [Elecraft] k3 weekly update
You are correct... My postal gal just mentioned Oct 8th was a holiday, as she was dropping off the mail. But a quick check of 'observed' holidays at UPS, confirmed that they will do pickup and deliveries on the 8th...
