K3 time from 'gram to ship.

[Darwin, Keith]

I couldn't take it any longer.  I had to call.  I got to talk to Lisa
and Katie both.  Lovely ladies.
 
My K3 was ordered end of Sept 07.  Katie-gram sent end of March 08 (2
weeks ago).  As of today, my rig is in assembly.  So if you received a
'gram for a factory unit, it sounds like it does take a couple of weeks
for them to get the assembly process done.  My guess is they'll ship
mine in another week or so but now that I know it is in process, I can
return to patiently waiting.

Aw, Keith let the cat out of the bag!

It was Schrodinger's cat, actually. :-) Might as well fill you in as much as I
can...

Keith and I have been part of an ultra-secret Beta test team for the K5 for
some time now (I think). The K5 utilizes an entirely new technology that
produces a communication medium by modulating dark energy to produce quantum
resonance with an infinite number of possible parallel reality states, thus
allowing us to communicate with other similarly-equipped hams -- alternative,
parallel instances of other hams, actually, since randomly connecting with the
instantaneous quantum state of one's own reality plane is vanishingly
unlikely. We'll leave that to all the obsolete electromagnetic guys still
using K3s and the like!

This has produced some very interesting results so far. With careful
adjustment of the K5, it is possible to access many of the possible reality
states of any given ham. We are even discussing establishing an operating
achievement award for working the same ham in 100 different parallel reality
planes. (Contacting yourself in an alternative reality plane does not count.)
Further evolution of the quantum CPU's firmware will be necessary before
results such as this can be reliably achieved, but the possibilities are quite
intriguing. Already I find myself working instances of other hams who live in
countries that used to exist here, or that might exist here, or that will
never exist here. Makes DXCC take on a whole new... er, dimension! So to
speak. It's all somewhere... out there... (I think...)

Anyway, you get the idea. I can't tell y'all any more about it, because if I
do, it will all change anyway, so what's the point? Needless to say, it's
really very challenging!

So back to my Beta testing... Let's see, what was it I was Beta-testing,
then?... I don't seem to see anything here... can't remember...

Have you been able to establish communication with Al
Gore?  Did Al Gore invent this technology?

The rumour that Al Gore invented this technology is completely unfounded. It
was actually developed in its entirely by Hillary Clinton in the 1990s.

Since we discovered how to apply string theory, we have been doing very well with a couple of paper cups on each end of a string. This allows us to communicate almost everywhere at any time, including yesterday. Sometimes the strings get tangled and we have wide ranging nets. Quite often though the string dimension becomes compacted and we end up talking to ourselves.

So secret that it was unknown even to me.

And THAT is why I was picked for the Beta team.  I live in the state of
VT.  It's a great place.  It really reminds me of the United States.
(It is entirely possible that this joke will escape those who haven't
been here, but let me clarify by saying VT was the last state in the
union to have a Walmart.  Fought it tooth & nail).

K5, did I say K5?  Oops, I meant KS, er um K%.  No, No K@ ... Drat K2
Oh, there it is.  K2.

Mike,
We tried using cans instead of cups for
transdimensional durability, but found that the solder
connections sometimes developed whiskers. These
'sub-strings' caused a lot of near-field instability:
information coming in one ear would leave the other
before it could be processed, or we found ourselves
speaking different things from opposites of our mouths
- very uncomfortable. However, one mode temporarily
produced 'eyes in the back of the head' awareness in
one of the staff which was useful but we have not been
able to duplicate that configuration.

They are of course a side effect of the advanced feline transformation  
matrix. Elecraft hopes to fix this by introducing a Canicula  
interuniversal correction factors, also known as the Barking Up Tree  
method.

But the torrid are a pain to wind at home, see these leaked secret

It may not be entirely suitable for portable opteration.
