Aptos - silicon village?

[GW0ETF]

Just noticed that Inrad shares the same parish boundary as Elecraft; any connection besides geography??

When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible

he is very probably wrong.

As a former resident of Aptos, CA (1984-2002), I've wondered this myself.
Aside from the obvious fact that Elecraft uses Inrad filters, I've seen no
indication on the Internet that there is any other connection. However, Aptos
is not a big place. :-)  Seems distinctly odd that Inrad should just HAPPEN
relocate there. I'm curious, too. I'd almost be willing to bet that there is
some connection. How about it, Eric?

I know Trey (N5KO)  and Mark (AG9A) at INRAD very well. Trey lives in
Aptos, and when he and Mark bought the company from George last year
they relocated it here. Very convenient for us!

They are located about a 10 minute walk, or a 4 minute drive, from our
offices on the east side of HW1.  Our customer filters are hand carried
from their door to ours. We're all about 1 mile from the beach on
Monterey Bay. One of these days I'm threatening to have an engineering
design review down at the beach. ;-)

So I guess Aptos is now the West Coast center for Ham Radio
manufacturers, dude...
