Thanks for the update. That is exactly what I needed. As the point of my message seems to have been lost on many responding, allow me to clarify. I realize no amount of discussing where the amp is will get it here any faster. That was not the point. I simply suggested it was a question I had every time a new “Amp received” message was posted. It was to satisfy my curiosity which several hams are doing .
I also had a reason to ask in that I help maintain a contest station and a remote station. The amp factors into our plans so I was trying to get a sense of projects coming up towards the Fall and Winter contest season. If we are already ploughing through the orders from the second week, that tells me something different for station planning than where we are now about how many minutes into the first day. Amp #52 was ordered 15 minutes after. Amp #56 was ordered 43 minutes after the ordering started. And yes, I know that is not necessarily linear as ordered came in from multiple channels. Lastly, I would rather wait for a great product and will wait as long as that takes because I trust Elecraft. The $6000 up front is not an issue as what else would it be doing except drawing ridiculous interest rates in a bank? Of course, if someone put the amp on a credit card and has been financing the purchase at 18%, then I could understand the consternation —but let’s hope no one that put a pre-purchase on a $6000 amp has to finance it long-term on a credit card :) Regards, Tom NY4I > On Apr 3, 2018, at 10:58 PM, Torrey Mitchell <torr...@q.com> wrote: > > My #52 arrived here in Iowa one week ago.
