Hello Good People..! I just HAD to add my 2p/2c worth to this one..
Speaking primarily as a guy who has been involved in radio as a "Window To The Outside World"..and a disabled operator In a wheelchair, where radio IS his life.. for communication, pleasure and the HIM "the umpteenth Wonder Of The World"..! I don't given a rat's ***..! What the ANY of the Elecraft stuff "does" or "does'nt" do..! PERIOD..! For me the description on Wayne & Eric's equipment when we all firstly came across this outstanding achievement both Personally (for them as radio hams, engineers,enthusiasts .. and people who had a goal..!) it say's it ALL for me.. For a boy who uses his radio as a medium which for the most part far out seeds the normal guy on the block, and who Since the first day of his birth has had to fight to stay alive, .. and had a "Boyhood Dream" since the age of 11 " ..to build a radio.. like those radio ham guy's have ...and talk to the world.." AND I DID IT..! TWICE.. (Elecraft K2 S/n 01432 & Elecraft K2 S/n 05469).. so for me, they have fulfilled EVERY DREAM I have ever had to be "as good as the next guy", "be noticed in the crowd".. That.! to me is worth more than all the Money in the world - more than words can ever say.. NO Mean Feat Of Achievement I can assure you, with all the physical and neurological problems that I have had since Birth.. and that's NOT taking away ANYTHING from each and everyone of us here on the list, who undertook and ACHIEVED The very same thing... These guy's (may) (may not) be the best in their fields, ..that is NOT for us to Discuss, Ponder, or be Judge 'n Jury On.. They have played with "Something Old" (Ham Radio), "Something Borrowed" (possibly some of their idea's).. and "Something New" (the drive for those of use who have lost it - to GET BACK INTO Ham Radio - and that can ONLY be a good thing"..they've re-kindled old spirit - in EACH and EVERYONE of us..! They've even brought the product(s) to our attention at a time where we are pushing the boundaries of electronics WORLDWIDE, with many changes going on around us, that we have no control over and incorporated some of this technology into their products.. .FOR EACH AND EVERYONE.. OF..US..! They've even possibly played with "Something Blue" too.. (think teeth).. Who know's what lies ahead in the coming months - Years from "The Bhoys In San Aptos", they've certainly made their mark, made themselves known with a BIG Bang..! NO ONE Can doubt that.. Everyone's talkin' about Elecraft.. It's more talked about even, than the OJ Trial..! They kept their "secret weapon" a secret..! We had no idea, so gentlemen, what can we expect ? Yes, they listened-in on Us here on the reflector for all that time, but NON OF US..knew.. Knew what was going on behind the scenes ..we still don't (think Linears).. But one thing's for sure, ..they came thru and they came thru BIG TIME.. And as you all are aware too I'm Sure.. THEY'LL DO IT AGAIN.! So, why don't we all just sit back wait and see what the delivery date(s) bring us, and BE THANKFUL for what we have in such A professional, dedicated, hard-working, generous, LISTENING team in ALL those at Elecraft..! There will be plenty time for us to wish for more, Bigger, better, more personalised things to come.. Don't let things, get into a how-deep-are-your-pockets can-YOU-afford-this-I-CAN scenario..! For the meantime, ..Enjoy..! What has been done here, ..for EACH and EVERYONE of US, and for those who have yet "To See The Light" and join our illustrious family.. All Things Come To Those Who Wait.. Wayne, Eric.. Everyone down there, ..THANKYOU for all you have given us.. 72's 73's [EMAIL PROTECTED] Andy GM0NWI Elecraft K2 "Fully Loaded" QRP S/n 01432 Elecraft K2 "Fully Loaded" QRO S/n 05469 No virus found in this outgoing message.
