A good book about early microcomputing is "Fire In The Valley" by Paul

Copyright 1984, It is pretty accurate up to that point.

I think that I still have a few issues of "The People's Computer Company"

Re: [Elecraft] "The Elecraft Story"

[K8TE]

Wayne's brief history of Elecraft was great to read.  A book would be even
better!

If you're coming to the Duke City Hamfest/Rocky Mountain Division Convention
21-23 Sep, be sure to stop by the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and
Science during your visit.  Paul Allen, formerly of Microsoft, donated the
funds for the Museum's "Startup" exhibition which is dedicated to the
history of the microcomputer.

Having worked at one of the buildings Microsoft used in Albuquerque, and
having built Heathkit's H-8, plus having fixed an IMSAI computer way back
when, this was a fascinating exhibit for me.  Our General Manager for the
Citadel Broadcasting center in Albuquerque would take his engineering staff
on an annual field trip.  Startup was one of the best!

BCNU in September!  73, Bill, K8TE, www.dukecityhamfest.org

Re: [Elecraft] "The Elecraft Story"

[Robert G Strickland]

I've often thought of alerting a business school that does case studies 
to the success of Elecraft and seeing what they would do with it. Small 
start up, enthusiastic partners with technical know how, define a nitch, 
fill it expertly, plow resources back into the company, expand nitch, 
establish excellent customer relations, conquer the world, etc. I still 
might do so.

Hello Roccon,
This was an interesting piece and most appreciated.I think Wayne
should expand on this and write a small history of Elecraft.   His

Re: [Elecraft] "The Elecraft Story" - other tech books

[rich hurd WC3T]

Well, I replied to Pete in a valiant effort to keep this on topic, but for
the curiosity value:

Re "The Soul of the New Machine,"  my dad knew Tom West and many other of
the engineers in the Eagle group.  He worked at RCA in Westboro and they
often went out for drinks after work together.  Blew me away when he told
me that after I told him I got the book.  :)

Pete,

Careful, that is darn near an antique book, but I too still reference
today, kidder did an excellent
job of capturing the ethos of that team and effort.

Re: [Elecraft] "The Elecraft Story"

[N4ZR]

Thanks, Mike - I fell prey to the old fallacy - "if I haven't seen it, 
it must not exist."  That said, I'd love to see something more 
up-to-date. It has always intrigued me that the KPA-1500 took so long to 
actually enter the market, having seen a prototype at Dayton about 10 
years (or so) ago. And of course, we're all waiting for the K4.


I still view Tracy Kidder's "The Soul of a New Machine" as the best 
example ever of close-up technological narrative.

Maybe Wayne & Eric can flesh it out, update where needed, and put it

Pete,

In 2011 Wayne wrote up a nice history.  An Elecraft wikipedia page points
to it, and I put it on a web page here:

   http://udel.edu/~mm/ham/elecraft/history/

Just ignore the graph up top.  Out of date ponderings!

Maybe Wayne & Eric can flesh it out, update where needed, and put it on
elecraft.com.  :-)

It strikes me that an article, or even a book about this would be 
welcome.  Or has it already been done?  If so, a reference would be
