Okay I published a rant when maybe I should have thought it through a little bit beforehand. It seems there are a lot of very strong Elecraft supporters as well as a lot of frugal hams. I admire a company who gets the customer service thing right and it's obvious from many of your comments Elecraft has done just that. Since my rant I've have a chance to find that out for myself. Friday afternoon I called to place my order with Howard their customer support go to guy. He's the perfect customer support person. He didn't rush me, answered my questions and made feel like I was the most important person he had talked to all day. That's the sign of a quality company and as some of you pointed out that's worth a lot more than a "Dayton Discount". As one of my K3 owner friends put it, I probably spend more on Brats and Beer when we go to Dayton then I would have saved.
The following is from this week's engineering and design newsletter about cheap hams. (great timing) There is a short commercial at the beginning. <http://www.edn.com/electronics-blogs/a-ham-s-eye-view/4414288/Hams-and-flea -markets> http://www.edn.com/electronics-blogs/a-ham-s-eye-view/4414288/Hams-and-flea- markets Thanks to all of you for your eye and mind opening comments. 73 - Pete - K7WTG ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
