[Elecraft] Question regarding update from rev A to rev B

Thu Nov 7 15:07:05 2002

Hi

I once had a business partner in a foreign car repair shop and he was the
only one I know that could do a repair job, clean and put away all of his
tools, wash his hands and start and drive the car away. Unfortunately he was
electrocuted a few years ago when laying on a metal creeper under a car when
he rolled over the drop light cord. If it wasn't so sad it would almost be
funny but he was one hell of a mechanic.
