[Elecraft] K3 serial numbers

[G3SJJ]

Doug, thanks and I am working on the same theory. I have a particular 
figure in my mind (not for discussion) for the 1st Prodn Run volume 
which seems to be tracking reasonably accurately so far and which is why 
I was trying to find some of the serial numbers that may have already 
been released. I am in that run with 50% deposit paid so reckon I can 
guess my serial number to within about 20 or so depending on, as you 
say, the number of 1st run orders without deposits.  Obviously the wx 
situation in W6 land is going to affect the shipping rates from now.

I know you are a contester of renown, so will be with me on the 
importance of planning. Having already had several plans blown away due 
to lack of shipment over the last 6 months I just want to be sure I get 
the next ones right. Guess I had better email my friends and see if I 
can suitably disrupt their weekend!
