[Elecraft] SAD NEWS FOLLOWUP

[Jon Kåre Hellan]

The "sad news" mail was forged. It could have been forged by anybody who 
knew Dale's email. These days, forgeries are almost always sent from 
malware infected computers belonging to innocent third parties. It could 
have been Dale's computer, but it could just as well be somebody else's.

However, the offer to complete your KX1 option looks genuine, and very 
generous. Dale's been on the list for ages. Just for building 
credibility so that he could get away with 50$ scam - once? Not likely.
