[Elecraft] Are you serious?

[Windy Dankoff]

Group

I have now gotten three very negative replies suggesting elitism, etc.  
That was NOT my intention and I apologize for sounding like perhaps I  
was demanding that others move off. Not so.

I am only trying to volunteer my efforts to get a K3 user group going.  
Then, I thought it courteous to invite others to check in in order to  
facilitate other nets to get going. I will revise the wording of that  
statement in future announcements, when we determine frequencies, so  
it doesn't sound like others are rejected. It was poorly worded.

I meant no elitism !!!! I have utmost respect for anyone who builds  
such a sophisticated rig as the K2 from parts, or for that matter,  
anyone who has earned an amateur radio license PERIOD. Please forgive  
any misunderstanding and stop the flames.

I'm OK with calling it the Elecraft Users Group and see where it goes  
from there. Also, I'm not the boss. I offer it up to any suggestions.
