[Elecraft] re: Nixie tube display for the K2

And to think....
the casual observer would see the Elecraft genre as only about a really cool cadillac of a portable rig that you can build. IMHO, the fact that it is a catalyst of imagination, bringing together ideas of things to try, wether it be vintage tube (valves for those of you across the pond), processor based projects, or a combination thereof, is the real prize!! If I had a dollar for everytime I looked at the reflector email digest and said "wow- that is a really cool idea", I could afford to build everything Elecraft sells!
