[Elecraft] Elecraft technology

Sverre:

I think you are right on target.  Having built just about all of the Heath 
ham products of years ago, I shared my problems and successes with my high 
school friends who were building the same kits.  Today that group of friends 
has greatly expanded because of the reflector.  Have a great day.
