SV: [Elecraft] K3: prod run #1 size

[John Klewer]

As I am sure you all know...all the while that the good folks at 
Elecraft have been shipping out these first 100 K3s, their manufacturing 
operation (in house and outside assemblers) have been cranking out 
boards and modules and filters, etc. It is decidedly NOT a serial 
operation until the testing/packing phase arrives.

The net result is that they likely have a large pile of boards now in 
house being tested and packed for shipping......they have already told 
us they are hiring staff to test and perform the other necessary 
functions in order to satisfy our K3-lust.

While I have greatly lowered my expectations of when my K3 is likely to 
arrive, I am confident that the pace of deliveries will significantly 
increase over the next few weeks.

Meanwhile...I am sure enjoying the assembly pictures being 
provided...thanks to all who have done so. The vicarious experience is 
better than nothing right now!

My wife thinks the whole lot of us are just a bit off 
kilter...........could she be right?

Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving Day to all

John, N6AX
