[Elecraft] Aptos - silicon village?

[Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft]

I know Trey (N5KO)  and Mark (AG9A) at INRAD very well. Trey lives in 
Aptos, and when he and Mark bought the company from George last year 
they relocated it here. Very convenient for us!

They are located about a 10 minute walk, or a 4 minute drive, from our 
offices on the east side of HW1.  Our customer filters are hand carried 
from their door to ours. We're all about 1 mile from the beach on 
Monterey Bay. One of these days I'm threatening to have an engineering 
design review down at the beach. ;-)

So I guess Aptos is now the West Coast center for Ham Radio 
manufacturers, dude...

73, Eric   WA6HHQ
