[Elecraft] Lead time

[Nick Kennedy]

I'm not sure I get it.  When I ordered my K3, I carefully counted out 
the projected 4 months plus a couple weeks extra to get it in time for 
Field Day. This was the lead time for new orders given on the web site.  
But I'm looking at probably 5 months.  Yet the projection continued to 
be 4 months from then until now.

I'm smiling and stoic, and I understand the difficulty in making a firm 
prediction, but what is the difference between that projection and the 
current one?
