>>>>>>>>>>>snipped
hand in his case, I suspect he doesn't sleep. With his having to do what he does for Elecraft, I wonder how he has the time to play with the toys, test out his developments, etc. However, I am really glad there is someone in the company like him.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I often wonder how this man does all his duties, (including answering emails) and have any time for sleep, family, non ham stuff....

As I sit on the road I watch the mail about Wayne... Then you have to think
of the quiet one .. Eric - WA6HHQ, who also is the other intense one. Those lead the team to create the goodies ... Wait .. they are the CEO's, and they keep track of the list and the pulse of Amateur Radio. And have a personal life .. read the list ... and make sure they cover any issues.. And what was the last time any other leaders kept track of their company this close..

Let me add that both Wayne and Eric are men of great integrity, and have
developed a "corporate culture" that places honesty as a key component. I had a situation a few years ago that demonstrates this. I had a piece of Elecraft gear that was having serious problems but was out of warranty. It had a long track record of problems going back several years. This is a very convoluted and unusual history that I will refrain from going into. I wanted to send the unit back in and have it fixed and asked that it be treated as a warranty repair. I emailed Wayne and Eric directly (something you can't do at most other ham radio companies), and in a long email related the very long and sordid history of this piece of equipment, with proper documentation. They agreed to my request. I sent the equipment back to the mother ship. Now, comes the truly amazing part of the story, when the tech examined the equipment he noted not a bad part, but two "missing parts." This was a factory assembled unit! Now, how many companies would admit that they had shipped a unit with "missing parts." They might report that in an internal memo, but in a message to the customer? I was impressed! Once these missing parts were installed (two resistors, if I remember correctly), the unit has worked flawless since. Last year at Dayton I personally commended Wayne for how this was handled. He just kind of shrugged it off as "no big deal." Well, it was a big deal to me, and made me an Elecraft customer for life! 73, Carl N8VZ P.S. I should add that I'm sure that it's a very rare occurrence that Elecraft ships gear with "missing parts," but it's reassuring that when it happens, they'll admit to it, and make it right! -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] <[hidden email]> On Behalf Of Paul Van Dyke Sent: Saturday, December 14, 2019 11:45 PM To: Elecraft Reflector <[hidden email]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Wayne and his company...
