[Elecraft] Good Public Relations (WAS: OT - Lighthouses and Amateurradio)

[KBG Luxford]

Firstly, welcome to the group, John.

One of the downsides of joining a group of such enthusiastic people is 
that from time to time a number of us get rather carried away by a 
thread that may be interesting to us, but perhaps of little interest or 
even baffling to others.

What you will find here is an extraordinary willingness to help out 
people with problems and, largely, an absence of personal comments or 
"flames".

The enthusiasm for more Elecraft products could perhaps quite accurately 
be described as a frenzy.  The K3 has been long awaited, although real 
information up to the launch date was absent.  Following the product 
announcement, the tsunami of K3 capability queries has largely subsided.

As for me, I am still building my K2.  It has been several years in the 
works, but now am girding my loins to advance its construction another 
notch.  I am not even thinking about a K3 at the moment.  My good wife 
would worry that money spent on a K3 might be better used when I am a 
little less capable and have less marbles than I have now.
