Why should we get excited about VP6DX using K3s when there are many commercial orders backed up...including mine? <g>

I suppose those of us that are still waiting should take heart that units ahead of ours are really being delivered...and the VP6DX stories are more interesting than keeping score of how many times we've been told two weeks more, and then it's two weeks more.

1. I'm very curious to see how they hold up in 24x7 operation.
2. If they survive the many bumps and smacks on the way to vp6dx. 3. More exposure for Elecraft. 4. Gives me a better chance of working them. That is why.

If you can get me my radio, ordered with deposit on 9 May,:
1. I will run it 24/7 for one week.<g> 2. I will bump and smack it around.<g> 3. Elecraft does not need any more exposure...latest orders will probably only be delivered in May orJune, 4. Any dxpedition proven rig such as the ICOM 756 Pro IIIs will give all of us a great chance of working the VP6. All said tongue fully in cheek. On the other hand, if the light weight of the K3 will save the team some hard earned bucks in xs baggage charges or allow them to carry more and better antennas, I fully support the VP6DX team using k3s. 73 and HNY de Al, W5IZ ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.

Hey Lee, how's this for confidence in Elecraft...
In 2004 a bunch of us were going to Banaba, T33C, and team members were building K2/100s for this rare DXpedition. I don't mind telling you I was apprehensive about newly built rigs lasting the duration due to things like cold solder joints showing up later and especially after being bumped and smacked around in the luggage. Plus, at the zero hour we ordered a bunch of upgraded chips which were to be installed while convening in Fiji Islands. Lots of new things from Elecraft yet the K2s performed perfectly and it was all just amazing. de Joe, aa4nn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lee (WW2DX)" <[hidden email]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3's and VP6DX > 1.

Incredible! Wow, what a great testament. Obviously, Murphy was completely
flummoxed by the vaunted Elecraft mojo! Maybe we should now rename Murphy's Law to Murphy's Opinion, or Murphy's Manifesto, or somethng like that.
