Does Life Exist Beyond the K3?

[Don Rasmussen]

Hi David, your sense of urgency is understandable and
I remember when I had an issue with building my K2's.
Anything that stopped the flow of the build made the
earth seem like it had slowed to a stop. Additional
"noise" in the manner of K3 posts whether they are
cute or not have to add to the frustration. But I
found that replies to my posts (a couple years ago)
were often not answered on the list for a day or two,
and sometimes not at all.

So I'd usually post questions to the list when
Elecraft was not going to be open for a couple days
(long weekend etc.) and if I got a reply it was a
bonus.

But during normal hours (and sometimes late) there was
always help for me at Elecraft via a direct email to
one of their heavy hitters.

So keep that in mind that even without the K3 clutter
(some of which is mine), sometimes it's a hard wait.
That's usually the time I started brainstorming about
the issue for myself in the interim. There were some
good thoughts that came of this. ;-)

Waiting waiting - always the issue! ;-)

73,
Don

As I have sorted through the multiplicity of K3
related postings in  
recent weeks (I was away from my computer one day and
when I came back  
there were 157 new K3 postings in one 24 hour
period)...I am beginning  
to wonder if there is life beyond the K3?  Is there a
"real" Elecraft  
list somewhere where one can go to for project advice
and help?

That is, I have heard more than I ever wanted to know
about bagpipes,  
vapors rising off what a dog left behind, shipping
dates, shipping  
methods, credit cards, advice on how to run a company,
operating  
manuals vs. assembly manuals, giving up your place in
line for someone  
that will appreciate the value of what the K3 will be,
etc. etc. etc.  
etc. etc. etc.....

And that's just today.

However, some of us are still building other Elecraft
products and  
have posted build/alignment questions and more than
one of us has had  
to repost because of no responses on the list to the
questions raised.

But, we can have 15 cutsey comments posted by everyone
and their dog  
about dog vapors, bagpipes, etc.

I must say, I did get one off-list response to my K2
question today  
and Andrew was helpful with one of the questions I
posed...but didn't  
have anything to suggestions for the rest of the
problem....

I had today off and was hoping to do the final
alignments...but am  
stalled by the questions I have....and it's now been a
totally wasted  
day.   But, by golly, I know about vapors and bagpipes
and shipping  
dates!!!

Just wondering...
