[Elecraft] Possible email spam

More than likely this is a virus. I'd be real careful not to open the
attachment unless you are certain the sender meant to send you something.

I received one of these earlier this week and it turned out to be a virus.
Luckily, my virus checker caught it.

Also, the return address is probably fake. That's how these viruses spread
so quickly. You think they're from a particular person when in fact the
virus code just put in a fake "From" e-mail address that was in your address
book.

When in doubt, ask the sender if there was an attachment to their e-mail.

Actually, looking at them there's 2 and they both come from W0PQX and
are from 'birchway' .. it appears to just contain a vcf, probably
harmless, but why they're sent I don't know ..
