Mike,

Thank you for posting the article, it was an interesting read. It brought
back many fond memories of Heathkit, I built and enjoyed many of their
products.

Wishing Elecraft's continued success with the K3 and future products. I
enjoyed building and now having enjoyment using the K2 and the
accessories  

73,

Is that 258,000 operator licenses or 258,000 station licenses? Just curious.

In those days, there were considerably more amateur station licenses than
operator licenses, because there were a more than a few club, military, RACES,
and second-station licenses. When amateur repeaters became popular (about a
decade later), the difference swelled even more.
