Elecraft news story

[Mike B-12]

This story is a couple years old, and has probably already had a bazillion
comments on this list in its day, but I just found it and thought it was
interesting.

There are even vague hints about the K3 in it.

73,

rants about waiting times)

Like most newspaper stories - not very accurate:

"In 1971, when Swartz became licensed, there were only about 25,000
so-called hams"

And notice how he wants to: "amp up" (its) spirit of technical innovation.... A veiled reference
to the KPA800/1500...hummmmmmm?

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...

Just as some folks don't choose to read about fox hunts, or winding things, or
color codes, you could use a filter....you've already indicated which things
you'd rather not read...so a filter would take care of that.

You could use the filter to delete the offending mail, or move it to another
folder for later review.

Thank you for the quick and snappy reply.  I've noticed you are always  
quite good at that.

But, if you had chosen to read beyond the surface, you would have  
noticed it was a request for people who have knowledge and experience  
to help with build questions, which is part of what this list purports  
to be for.

You can keep trying to be funny all you want.  But, it would also be  
nice if help were offered when requested.

Ah....all the whining may have obscured it....things like 'Is there a "real"
Elecraft list' and your list of complaints didn't seem like a specific request
for help.

I wasn't attempting to be funny....just giving you a method to shield yourself
from material that you complained about.

Sometimes when I don't get an answer on a list, I ask the question again...you
might try that and see if you can get some help.

Actually in the US in 1962 (the year I was licensed) there were
over 250,000 hams in the US.  The callbook I saved to show my
first call was the summer 1963 and it lists 258,000 hams.
