[Elecraft] First Shipment Tally

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Guys - We can't release actual numbers for competitive reasons, but I 
can say that the numbers quoted below are incorrect.

We increased the first July-August production run above the numbers 
quoted below.

Also, we are NOT sold out of the Sept-Oct production run. :-)

73, Eric
