I think the answer to your question of how many Elecraft owners there are in the UK is 'A LOT'. My article on the K2 in RadCom in March 2003 generated a lot of interest. In my own local club we have around 5 members who have one or other kit and I know quite a few more.. Look out for my K2 in WPX CW this weekend! Oh, and as an aside, what has happened to this list these last couple of days. Each day I am getting two digests of around 100k each, 3 or 4 times normal postings. Was Dayton really that good?? 73 Dave G3YMC http://www.davesergeant.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
