Some years ago, Elecraft offered some hats on their website. Part number was KHAT, of course. I bought mine then. I run a K3, P3, KAT500 and KPA500 and occasionally a KX3 ... while wearing my hat. - 73 and good DX de Mike, K6MKF, NCDXC Vice-President 2021-2022 > -Original Message- >

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
