Re: [Elecraft] A hat was saved (totally apropos of nothing)

Wow!  At least you got a hat with your radio. I put down my $1500 deposit on a K4 at the 2019 Hamvention and waited almost 2 and a half years to finally receive the radio.  My very first Elecraft purchase ever.  When Madelyn emailed me to say the radio is ready to ship, I asked for at least a
