[Elecraft] Slightly OT: "K2 Sales Targeted"

2010-05-11 Thread Al Gulseth
(I thought the readers of this reflector might get a chuckle out of the title 
of this article in the local newspaper yesterday. No, it's not about the 
draconian "Radio Police": seems as how the "K2" in this instance is a 
substance that (shall we say) is apparently being used as a "mood enhancer". 
However, as I consider things carefully, what we associate with the term "K2" 
could also be said to serve as a "mood enhancer" during construction and 
operation. Uh-oh)

Times Record: K2 Sales Targeted

Re: [Elecraft] Slightly OT "K2 sales targeted"

2010-05-12 Thread Barry Middleton
Here in the UK we have a breakfast cereal called Special K, after 
watching a television programme I found out that it was also the name of 
a controlled substance i.e. a prohibited drug. I feel sorry for the 
people at Elecraft, all K2's shipped confiscated. Maybe they will have 
to call it  the K1.1 Hi.

73 to all Elecrafters
