[Elecraft] Silly Question

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I've had that happen to me in a CW rag chew a few times. They other guy
catches the 'craft' and jumps to a conclusion, then usually comments that he
always enjoys working guys with antique rigs. 

I resist the temptation to say I enjoy working guys with antique ears. 

As my daddy always said, "He who jumps to conclusions often falls on his
a$$." 

I should know. I have lots of experience!

When I tell old timers who don't read the ham comics or the various web
reflectors that I have one of those Ellycraft radios, they all as one reply
".....a Hallicrafters..?"
