Pink K3 bag is a royal idea

G'day

For those who might be thinking having a pink K3 bag is a bit unmanly, think
again!

As those who have an interest in history and royalty will know, pink is
actually the colour of kings. Although these days we tend to associate red
with royalty, pink used to have a similar place.

Of course I can make a pink K3 bag! There are many "options"

for fleece lining and edge binding colors, too.

Unfortunately, the shoulder straps come in back only. (:-(

In fact, pink was a manly colour until a couple of generations ago. Blue
was for the girls :)

Steve et al
Is it not the KING of all Radio's!!
Though I must admit a bloke would look a bit Lardy carrying a pink
case, k3 or no k3. Ok for YL's though!
But, Have i missed a thread !! Where has this idea come from that k3
cases should be pink or perhaps just some lite banter!!

Re: [Elecraft] Pink K3 bag is a royal idea

Just because a while ago it was OK to use pink it does not mean it is now. Many years ago everyone drove on the left of the road. This is still fine and accepted in most of the world, but not good fashion in the America or continental Europe. Go around with a pink bag if you are male and people will make judgements.

Ken...you apparently missed an early post on this, as a YL was getting a
K3 and asked about the possibility of a pink K3 bag being made up by
Mrs. Kopp. (She said yes, they were available).

That then led to the general discussion of the relative merits of pink
in various societies...No one was directly suggesting a system-wide
switch to pink.

Re: [Elecraft] Pink K3 bag is a royal idea

Ah, tks, I thought that may be the case. ( if u can excuse the pun)!!
My iPhone is only set for the first 2 lines of in bound texts so if i
don't get the gist then I delete the mail be4 opening it.
I'm glad the lads are not thinking abt having pink cases...hi but such
as life, each to their own I say!
Yes, the YL's would love them.
While most of the banter has revolved about the US, on cases etc, mine
has to share with an old Ali case with houses my RC Helicoptor
transmitter.
