Here's a thought.  Elecraft scores a hit with the K3, appealing to the
general market but struggles under the mound of orders.  Once-dominant
Kenwood, buys the US-based company and moves production & testing to
Japan.  The K3 survives, Kenwood's presence in ham radio increases with
no engineering effort on their part.  Elecraft as a name disappears and
unfortunately so does the innovation, forward-thinking and risk-taking
that has made them such a great source of gear.

The solution?  We all get assembly skills and go to work for Elecraft to
make sure they have the production capability to keep up.

And, of course, we'd get employee discounts :-)

... I just hope Elecraft can cope with the demand.  Smaller companies
have been covered up with orders that take them, unfortunately, down....
Hold on, Elecraft, we are pulling for you... the little engine that
could.... or must.  73
