[Elecraft] K3: shipping status updated

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

No reason to be upset :-) The order rate is still -very- good. We're 
just doing even better in production.

We've planned on ramping up production to this point from the start and 
to be honest, for ongoing business in this market long term, it is 
important that we get the lead time down to a very short time.

73, Eric
