[Elecraft] Cash for Radio Clunkers

[.k8dd.]

Now is the time to upgrade your old radio.
In an effort to further revive the weak economy, the government 
announced that it started a new Cash for Radio Clunkers program on 
August 3.
The program is aimed at members of the Amateur Radio Service, also known 
as ham radio operators.  Operators with transceivers with less than 80 
db Blocking Dynamic Range (2 kHz spacing) will be eligible to trade in 
their old units (which must be crushed) for new transceivers and will 
receive a credit based upon the improved BDR.  Improvements of 20 dB are 
eligible for $100 credit and 40dB or better are eligible for $200. 
Operators must be currently licensed and must show proof of purchase of 
the old transceiver, which must be in working order.  Tube transceivers 
are deemed to be museum pieces and not eligible for this program.
See your retailer for further details.
This program will expire April 1, 2010
