They planned the creation and evolution of
Elecraft over the last 15 years very well. I
suspect they've done some succession planning,
too. Anyway, I'm not too concerned: Wayne is a tad
over 20 years younger than I :-)

Don is certainly right. But what I've been
wondering already is what will happen to
Elecraft if Wayne & Eric will retire? I know
there's a real great crew at Elecraft now but
hey, they are the master minds, aren't they? ;-)

Dave,
Elecraft is in good financial shape and is
*not* running on borrowed money.
Consider also that Elecraft still sells and
supports every product that they have
developed, and that includes their first
product, the K2 first available in 1999. I am
certain the K3 will be around for a very long
time too.
So other than a natural disaster that would
completely wipe out the Watsonville area and
much around it as well, I can forsee no reason
for Elecraft to go away. Even a total natural
disaster in the Watsonville area would not
likely to shut things down for long - the
engineering/development staff is spread out
over a lot of the US and communicate via email
and other internet methods, and the support
staff is similar. That indicates to me that
any interruption would be temporary, and more
likely only result in a slowdown while
Watsonville would recover quickly.

Hi Robers,
Thanks for the nice overview, Is there any
issue you might be aware of
that might cause Elecraft to cease production
of the K3, or go away as a
company?
