[Elecraft] New Contest Transceiver

[Robert Tellefsen]

Caution, Shaun.
Think before you leap.
Contesting has been demonstrated to be an
addictive pasttime.  You might find that
you like it, and there is no known cure for
this affliction.  We can only treat the
symptoms by applying more and more
contests to the sufferer.
Be warned, my friend.
Good luck and 73
Bob N6WG
