selling K3s, buying 7700's - PLEASE READ ME

DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL
Gee whiz...you guys are KILLING me...so many "ugly" private emails.

My posting was a JOKE.  I signed it with "KR2Q/tic."

TIC = Tongue in Cheek.

I can understand some non-native English speakers missing this, but
holy cow guys.  Haven't you read enough of my previous posts to know
that I'm in love with the K3?  My picture has been in NCJ and CQ with
my ELECRAFT rig (K2) clearly (prominently) displayed.

To sum up, my entire previous post was SARCASTIC.  It was a jab at
Icom for spending more money on their brochure and photography than on
design of useful circuitry.  And yes, I saw their rig in person last
year outside Contest University at the Crowne Plaza.  As a "contest"
rig, it was a joke then and it is even more so now that the K3 is
available and has demonstrated its superior RX performance via
Sherwood and ARRL testing.  Icom's 3kc roofer is really almost 6kc
(per Sherwood).  You gotta be kidding...buy a 7700?

Only ONE guy sent me an email noting that my timing was off by two
weeks.  He GOT it.

You guys need to lighten up a little!

One runs the risk of offending the gods when anything negative is mentioned,
even in jest, about Elecraft and/or their products.

Perhaps we need to preface each line of such a posting with TIC, or HUMOR.

As you have seen, sinc TIC is not in the Q Signal list, the meaning of the
phrase was lost on some folks.
