[Elecraft] ARRL Video features K2

[Jim Wiley]

Check out the new ARRL Video.  It features Walter Cronkite,  using a 
K2!   The on-screen time is short, but there it is, in all it's glory.  
The same(?) K2 appears again later as part of the story.


Caution: the download is 96 MB!!!.  Unless you have a high speed link, 
it will take quite a while.  Even at DSL speeds, it took about 15 
minutes. Here is an edited version of  the article, from the ARRL web site:


The ARRL Goes to Washington now is available  Produced by Dave Bell, 
W6AQ, Alan Kaul, W6RCL, and Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, this video documents 
the League's activities on behalf of Amateur Radio on Capitol Hill and 
at the FCC. Because ARRL's advocacy to support Amateur Radio in 
"official Washington" typically occurs behind the scenes, it receives 
little fanfare in relation to its importance and significance.  
Featuring ARRL President Jim Haynie, W5JBP, and narrated by former CBS 
News anchor Walter Cronkite, KB2GSD, the presentation's debut at Dayton 
Hamvention was resoundingly positive. The video makes a great 
centerpiece for an Amateur Radio club program or meeting, and it's ideal 
for showing at hamfests, forums and even civic group meetings.  The ARRL 
Goes to Washington is available for  download free of charge from the 
ARRL Web site.

fresh cup of coffee while you wait.
