[Elecraft] Pronunciation ??

[Dick Dievendorff]

Phil, I think you have the right pronunciation.

I've always heard it pronounced with three syllables, as if it were formed
from the concatenation of "ele" from "elegant" and "craft" from
"craftsmanship".

I've talked with the founders, and whenever I've heard them say "Elecraft",
it's always with three syllables.

Dick, K6KR

OK, maybe I am saying it wrong.  Ran into a couple of guys on the air and
they are pronouncing the name of Elecraft different from me.  What do the
experts say?

I am saying "El-eh-craft".  The other guys were saying "El-craft"?  I have
three syllables in the name and they have two.  I sort of thought of the
name like "electronics + craft" so took two syllables from the "electronics"
part.

Sure it is silly question.
