[Elecraft] On watching order numbers

[Ken Kopp]

Ken's invoice is 47389.  My invoice (May 18th) is 48130.  Any guesses
how many of those invoices are for K3's?

    I'd not considered that there were likely other (non-K3 items)
    ordered in a given period, so watching order numbers likely
    tells us little.

So for sure, there were NOT more than 741 K3's ordered between 
Ken's of April 29 and mine of May 18.  Not much information, is it?

     Oh really?  I'd say there were quite likely MORE than that.  
     A commonly-hear RUMOR says that there were over 700
     sold at Dayton alone.  There was a line at the order desk
     all the time they were taking orders.

     My guess is that there's not much to be gained from watching 
     serial numbers as an indication of anything.  For example, isn't
     SN 666 already out there ... because the buyer has a K1 numbered
     666?  I have no problem with this ... it's just an observation.
