Nor do I.

From the day I received my K3, I too have believed it to be the best Rig I've
ever had.  Being retired on a fixed income, it makes me feel good that I can
look forward to no more major rig purchases.  Now I can concentrate on my other
part of the hobby; Building wire antennas for the low bands.

Thanks, Elecraft!

Giving a politician more 
than one term in office
allows him to become 
one who feeds from
the hands of lobbyists.

Help prevent this, by never 
voting for an incumbent.
