I'm glad that you're amused, Mike. It's less funny to those of us who "loaned" Elecraft $6k at the end of August, based on projection of delivery in October (i.e. 5-8 weeks). Here we are, 7 *months* later, and it still doesn't even seem imminent. $6k is a "chunk of change" (at least to most). They may not be Apple, but that argument is getting milked a bit, IMO - it's not like 2 guys operating out of a garage anymore either. There's a lot of history of unmet projections on new product delivery, but the high-value prepayment aspect of this one makes it more difficult to be patient with....
