FW: [Elecraft] motto

Wed Jul 10 10:24:01 2002

Hey Guys and Girls:

Let's not brow beat the League too much as I seem to remember that they had
a very nice write up about the Elecraft Company and it's help in the renewal
of building in amateur radio and also a very complimentary product review on
the K2.
