[Elecraft] Katiegram - Stay or go, yes or no

[Darwin, Keith]

Just call me Mr. Waffle.
 
I ordered a K3 at the end of Sept 07.  Yea, I want one but paying for it
is not quite so easy to swallow.  No biggie, I have months to think
about it.  With the shipment of my K3 approaching, I made a few changes.
Added 100 watt PA, CW filter and finally switched to factory built.  I'm
still not completely sure I want to go through with it, but I have time
...
 
Yesterday I got my Katiegram.  My time is up.  I have to decide whether
to stay or go.  Total price is about $2200.  I knew it would be that
much but somehow seeing it in an invoice makes it very real.  I suppose
I could drop back to the K3/10 kit but that's not what I ultimately
would want.  I could go K3/100 kit but truth is I just don't have the
time right now to put it together.  When I look at that $2200 bill, I
wonder if I should just make the time.
 
I feel like a kid who has climbed the high-dive and is standing with his
toes hanging over the edge of the board, nervous and unsure, wondering
what he's gotten himself into.
 
Mr. Waffle, signing out for now ..
