happy holidays to Wayne and Eric and tnx for the K3

Dear guys, and all the cast of supporting actors,

Happy Holidays to all of you!  May you get 20 or 30 minutes of well-
deserved rest!  Hi, hi.

Just finished assembling K3 #1741.  What a great kit!  The fit and  
finish are extraordinary.  Tolerances are close, but it is a great  
pleasure to find that the last screw goes in as cleanly and easily as  
the first one did.

Also want to praise you guys on the ergonomics.  It is a pleasure to  
use this radio.  Lots of thought in that design.  It is designed by  
knob-twiddlers for knob-twiddlers.  What a joy!  So much to adjust,  
and all of it actually seems to make a difference.  I'm about 3/4 of  
the way up the learning curve.  Just played with NB and NR and now on  
to adjusting the fine points of AGC.

And, lo and behold, the NR and NB actually do something.  I am in the  
center of a city with about S8 RFI/QRM most evenings.  I find that NB  
and NR actually let me copy things that I can only hear dimly on my  
K2.  (Which is itself no slouch, BTW.)

So, happy holidays to all from a happy camper.
