I am currently in contact with Justin at Moonraker. We also met at the
Friedrichshafen Ham Radio show in June. I'll report here as soon as I have
additional information
That is excellent news Eric that you hope to appoint to appoint Moonraker as
the UK agent and that they might have a UK service centre.

As a many time direct purchaser, I can say I never experienced any
horror story or great difficulty in direct orders to Elecraft shipping to

In the past I have bought Elecraft transceivers and amplifiers both direct
from USA and also through W with full satisfaction. On the one occasion in
the last 14 years, when one of my Elecrafts (a KPA500) needed a repair, I
had to send it to Italy, a not inexpensive solution.
Sadly, it now

Elecraft is a small enough company that the issue of shipment could
certainly be addressed when discussing a purchase. I've long heard that
DHL is well respected in the UK.

There are some anomalies that need to be cleared up, both in your post and in
Geert’s post. Both of you are partly correct and of course entitled to your

I agree with the comment to call Elecraft and take exception to Geert's

There are other carriers besides the US Postal Service. From my experience

I bought my K4D from W 2 years ago, but they no longer list much Elecraft
equipment and seem to have lost interest.
All my other Elecraft kit came direct from Elecraft. W are unlikely to
