[Elecraft] Re: really a need for more reviews?

[Ken Hopper]

Y*E*S, many of us read the various reviews and enjoy the different
perspectives about the meaning and use of specific features. I believe each of
us has something to contribute - if willing - to the community's understanding
of equipment and accessories.  

I for one love to see greater participation, collaboration and sharing. The
number of responses gives me a direct indication about the level of
satisfaction and enthusiasm for the rig. I vote for hundreds of replies to
show the HF community what they are missing!
