[Elecraft] RE: not about technical issues (was Shipping Status Page)

[Don Wilhelm]

By my count, it does look like there are now at least 30 K3s being 
shipped per week over the past 2 week period, judging from the serial 
numbers that have been posted on the wiki.

That means that Don Rasmussen's projections are overly pessimistic.  By 
my estimate (again judging only from the serial numbers accounted for), 
serial number 225 should ship well before Christmas, and they should 
have shipped SN 250 before the first of the year.  I don't know how many 
are in the 1st batch, but most have figured it is less than 250.

The folks at Aptos are working hard to hone their production 
capabilities and get these first orders shipped.  It has been a long 
period of overtime for all of them.  I will get my K3 in due time I am 
certain, and I am certainly not going to bug them about it - whining 
about it will not hurry the process and may even slow it down.
