[Elecraft] Let us be the representatives of "our" Elecraft ...

Wed Oct 22 10:18:01 2003

My point is, Atlanticon is supposed to be the "other" big QRP shindig, and it 
hasn't had "Official Elecraft Recognition."

  Ladies and gentlemen, Elecraft has mentioned to me that if I wanted to 
host them at a hamfest they would supply me with materials and things. A 
large convention like Atlanticon , or Hamvention , or even a small town 
hamfest would go a long way in building this companies customer base. 
Sales is what drives any business. If we the loyal customer base were to 
put actions to our feelings and loyalty to the company and offer to be 
where they cannot be, hundreds of us all across this grand Republic, 
maybe the cost of a full blown representation by Elecraft at the large 
shows on a regular basis would be a viable option? After all, virtually 
every one of us on this list has invested a lot of faith in this 
company, a lot of time and yes, a lot of money.
  This truly is "our" Elecraft too, let us share in the load and help 
build it.  I do not know why they haven't as of yet attended Atlanticon, 
or any other shows, but my guess is one of development costs in time and 
money and just plain good old lack of both. We are the one company 
resource that can turn this around. I bought my K2 because I watched 
this list and listened to all the good information about the product and 
the company.
  So, to put my money where my mouth is, for those living in the 
Spokane, WA area, let's form a group and ask Elecraft to supply us with 
banners, brochures or what ever, take our rigs to the next hamfest in 
Spokane or Missoula .... and host the shows ourselves! My home phone 
number is [509] 253-4758 ... available when I'm not yammering on the net 
.. till my K2 is done that is ... and let's have a Eastern Washingtoncon 
.... and we'll be the reps for "our" Elecraft! I look forward to meeting 
you on the air, and hopefully some day (if I can afford it) Atlanticon 
or Pacificon ... we have great resources in our area, and there are 
great individuals all over who can make this a truly worthwhile effort.
