[Elecraft] Start the countdown!

Ah, I was clearly wearing my SOC (#659) hat! But in my defense it IS the last FULL week
in July, for whatever that's worth.

In my earlier life as a gainfully employed contributor to society I developed custom software
for a variety of applications on government funded R&D contracts. There was the "bid the contract" delivery date, there was the "mid-contract dog and pony show and why we're running behind but
we WILL make the scheduled delivery" and, finally "well it's still buggy but we gotta get it out the door before funding goes away" delivery date. 

And I can spell "calendar", must have been a Spell Check lapse ;(-
