[Elecraft] K3 Shipping Delays

[k4tmc at aol.com]

Re the K4.  Didn't Wayne or Eric just have a new child?  I believe it 
was named "K4 Serial Number 00001" :-)

I guess I will not be showing a K3 at the Shelby NC Hamfest - my K3 has 
not arrived yet...

73,
Henry - K4TMC

On the other hand, you can keep on improving almost anything
indefinitely.

I myself figure another month, that way, if it arrives before that
I will be real happy.

Lots of work for those Elecraft folks, the amplifier,
the panadaptor, the remote K3 antenna tuner, the K4, etc....

I think they been goofing off, sleeping and eating even!
