[Elecraft] Post Dayton Traumatic Stress Syndrome...

[K8TB]

Like many of you, I went to Dayton to see the radio that was ordered for 
me (by K8AJ) actually looked like. It is rather un-nerving to order a 
radio that is not even in production.

But.

It does look great. Nice LCD panel.

But looks only count on the first date.

The demo radio on the left had a whip antenna attached. The audio coming 
from it sounded, well, Elecraftish! I usually hear the same sound from 
the Ten-Tec's. Someone pays attention to the receive audio, and it just 
opens up.

I had fun just stepping back and watching people go up and look at the 
radio. Elecraft even ran out of brochures on Friday. I felt very good 
about getting in on the first production run.

The only negative, the Amazing Lisa was not there.

It was a good weekend.
