[Elecraft] QSK options inquiry

[Jim Danehy]

Doug

Same problem here finding out anything about sales in North America. All I 
get is a photo of the Acom 1010 and nothing else. A few years ago they were 
being sold by a company in Boston then K6ND now it appears their sales in NA 
are in limbo. That type of instability scares me. I am sure we will get some 
needed feedback on my comments. That is why I am blunt with my comments. 
Need answers based upon facts not guess work.
