End of the world and the KX3
Locked

Don, I thought you would get more comments too. However, apparently it's more important for folks to acquire a hobby radio than face the end of the world. I certainly understand the thrill of getting a new rig. However, as I learned many years ago, this is still a hobby and no matter how anxious one is about the new rig, it's not all that important on the road of life!

Well, in this case, being more concerned about ham radio and the KX3 is entirely appropriate. Contrary to popular belief, the Mayans did not predict the end of the world. Their calendar, actually one of several they used, predicted essentially the end of an era. Nothing more. Those of us who do not otherwise die of something else, will wake up on December 22, 2012 and go on with life and ham radio as usual.
Hollywood and the mass media is largely to blame for stoking the misconception that December 21 2012 was the end of the world. I wish they hadn't. There's been a lot of fear and uncertainty spread unnecessarily as a result. Dave, AH6TD On May 1, 2012, at 3:47 PM, John's email wrote: > > Don, I thought you would get more comments too.

David,
That is a real relief - I would not want to *not* wake up on December 22 or 23, 2012 and find that there is no more world. OK, this is running astray of Elecraft communications, and Eric is about to tell us it is OT and exceeding the OT post limit - so have good day, and have a better tomorrow, and see you in 2013! 73, Don W3FPR On 5/1/2012 10:32 PM, David Herring wrote: > Well, in this case, being more concerned about ham radio and the KX3 is entirely appropriate.

I fully expect to hear the K3's (and KX3's) reassuring power-on self- test audio signatures on the morning of December 22nd.

The real truth is that they were working on the Calendar and were
invaded by some dudes from across the ocean, they had intended to come back and finish the Calendar but you know the end of that story.. > Well, in this case, being more concerned about ham radio and the KX3 is entirely appropriate.
