[Elecraft] First Shipment Tally

[JIMMY D HARRIS]

Hi,

Just quoting numbers I had seen on the reflector or heard from what I 
thought were at least from somewhat qualified sources.  Must be some 
misinformation out there.  Sorry if I mislead anyone....not intended.  I'm 
sure that Eric has a much better handle on it than myself.

Jim, AB0UK
