I'm with you Johnny:
Don's work continues to benefit us all.......
I tool the opportunity to give my XV50 a run for it's money over the
weekend. 6 has really come into it's own here lately.
So far, it's working flawlessly. Mine is one of the first kitted and
has no vent holes in the covers. I expect I'll be doing something about
that soon. BUT, doesn't seem to be causing any ill affects at this
point.
Thanks Don for your efforts. I very much appreciate your work.
Hopefully, I'll see a few Elecrafters on 6 soon.
Check out the spot window on DX Summit. It's current info within 3
minutes 24/7.
