Re: [Elecraft] Tours?

[Ken Bandy, KJ9B]

Thanks for all of the replies.  I will give them a call tomorrow.  The last
I checked, it was around 4 or 5 hours from where we're staying (Thousand
Oaks).  Hopefully we can make it work.  Otherwise, we'll catch it another
time.

The Aquarium is in Monterrey about 20 minutes West of Watsonville.
It is a "don't miss" place if you are in the area.

Hi Ken,

Lots to see in the area along with your visit to Elecraft. Head over to 
Salinas and visit the National Steinbeck Center 
, an amazing place.

Ken,

I assume you know that is a six plus hour drive.  If you do it though, also 
make a

Ken,

Note that Watsonville is not exactly what one would call a side trip 
from L.A. It is somewhere around a 5-7+ hour trip one way, depending 
upon from where in that area you leave from, as well as the traffic.


If you do make it, the people at Elecraft are super and will go out of 
their way to help you out. I enjoyed my tour a few years ago.

You will be warmly welcomed.  BUT contact them ahead of time so they 
know you will be visiting.
They are not open for any regular tours, but you will get a 
personalized one.  Try NOT to make it on Mondays, that is a busy time 
trying to get the stuff that has piled up over the weekend emails 
answered.
There will be no formal tour, but one customized 'on the spot' by the 
aspects you are interested in.


The best days are Wednesday or Thursday.
