[Elecraft] ESD And John GM1BSG

[John A. Ross [RSDTV]]

Thanks for the comments Andy :-)

Please do not paint me as perfect or larger than life, I am not, I can make mistakes like everyone
else. I only seem that way to you, sorry mate :-)

Assumption and over confidence can be the mother of all screw ups, I try to avoid it if I can, one
must remain humble.

There are many experienced people on this list, I can guess that from the posts, please do not sell
them short either by pushing me forward.

By the way, get on with the kit, to much webbying, not enough study + action, concentrate! 

I would say if you are not in the mood or focussed on the task, walk away and leave it until you
are, or risk mistakes, but that's too good an excuse to leave open for someone not really motivated
in the first place. 

I do not think you have any excuses left now have you? I have not seen any more progress on the
site.

Keep smiling little dude

John (GM1BSG)
