Ham enthusiast arrested

Elecraft mailing list
Ham-radio enthusiast, Hezekiah Bambershoot, of Ft Jackson, was arrested
yesterday at police headquarters for disorderly conduct and assaulting a
police officer.Bambershoot initially came to headquarters reporting he
had been victimized by buying a radio from a mysterious Californian
named Ellie Craft.

Ms Craft allegedly took advantage of Bambershoot by claiming to have
down-conversion which he mistook for a syndrome of the same name.
Bambershoot was happy with his purchase until his friends told him all
the problems he should be having with his new radio.

According to Police spokesman, Ken Wood, "The poor man was distraught
and raving about roofing filters.What the heck are roofing filters?"

The arrest report filed by fellow-ham, Officer Ike Com, listed
Bambershoot's original complaint as "radio mushiness" but notes, "I told
him all my radios sound mushy but he was upset he couldn't hear it on
his.When we tried to calm him down he became unruly."

Su Yae, an EMT called to the scene, defended Bambershoot saying, "When I
got there they claimed he was making clicking noises with his keys but I
never heard any key-clicking.The poor man was just frustrated because
his purchase had so many faults he couldn't find.I feel sorry for him."

Bambershoot is being held on $10,000 bond.Police are still searching for
the elusive Ellie Craft.

Re: Ham enthusiast arrested

David Ahrendts
Super secret documents now reveal that Elecraft intends to skip the K4 and K5 and move straight to the K6. “Twice as big as the K3 with twice the knobs, and really big screws!” the design team said in a draft announcement scheduled for release in a drought-stricken central California town on April 18th. “Huge…really huge,” one observer with inside knowledge said while emphasizing the K6 will be water-cooled and peddle self-powered with enough reserve to power several other devices simultaneously including an optional ham-equipped self-driving autonomous Tesla specially designed with Levitation Mode for those occasions when you just need a 500 foot legal limit perch to break through that pile-up with Asiatic Russia. The same source produced patent applications from Apple to include an entire remote system for the K6 on the soon-to-be-released Apple Watch. “Imagine,” he said, “working DX from your wrist!”

The retro styling of the K6 is really something--  those massive knife
switches on the front panel!

Can't wait to see the matching 5 KW dummy load/Jacobs Ladder...

Oh yes! Further, following the masterful design of the KPA500, the K6 boasts a 450-pound transformer that produces that 5 KW with simple house current.

Re: Ham enthusiast arrested

Yes Christian. Because of the roofing filters it was necessary to include a Jacobs Ladder for maintenance.
Also, the dual peddles (as opposed to paddles) double up for ambidextrous QLF CW.
