What is the big surprise being announced on Thursday?

[W0UCE]

To:

All who won't sleep well tonight because of being frustrated by what the
Elecraft Dynamic Duo will announce tomorrow morning...

 

There is hope...  Here is a hint...

 

Perhaps, just perhaps my pal who lives not far away and goes by the name
Don.... Yes, the one who makes excellent technical posts on this reflector
could possibly be "shall we say enticed" into spelling some beans just after
midnight this evening...

 

A $1,000.00 PayPal contribution to "Maybe Don will spill the beans" might
just result in you enjoying a good night's sleep.  

 

Hi Hi...  My apology... I just couldn't resist doing this.

 

Whatever the Elecraft Dynamic Duo release will be worth the wait…

 

73,

Jack WØUCE

Perhaps a red herring, but the Shipping Status page shows:

5/5) We are now short of an important part for the K3. There
will be approximately a 3 week delay until new parts arrive and
shipments resume. Orders received during this period will then
ship based on their order date when we resume shipping.

This delay covers the K3/0, K3/10, and K3/100.

The good news for me is my order for the new synth should ship
before field day.

YMMV, 73 Bill AE6JV

K3S as in "short" -- short an important part to be sent later?

Jack,

I THINK you were referring to me.
First, I really didn't know - so there were no "beans for me to spill"
Second, I am already at Dayton, and just now read your post - I did not
read the reflector yesterday, so have to go through 427 posts tonight.
Third, Even if I were privileged to have that information, I would not
be able to "spill any beans" because you can be certain they would have
me bound by a confidentiality agreement.

I saw Eric's presentation at FDIM this morning, and I can tell you that
that was the first time I knew what was going on. Oh yes, I knew that
something was in development (there always is), but I did not know what
or when it would be announced.
As an Elecraft part-timer I am not privileged to have that sort of
inside information.

So, even if I received a $1000.00 PayPal contribution, I would have to
return it!

Sorry Jack, I could not resist either.

73,
Don W3FPR

K6XX is an engineer at Elecraft, and a VERY good friend. He stopped by
Tuesday night to drop off K3SYNA modules for me, saving me the shipping
charges. He didn't give me even the slightest hint that anything was up
(and respecting his need to be discreet, I never ask). I read the news
on the reflector this morning.

73, Jim K9YC
