[Elecraft] Hats

[juergen]

Hi Ken

I would prefer a free K3,airplane tickets for the Dayton Hamvention and a K3 Coffee mug.

Anyone one of these I would expect from Elecraft, bless their souls they so kind.

As the saying goes, keep on dreaming! 

A better alternative would be joining  any London Merchant Bank, I hear that they are giving out Millions of  tax payer dollars in bonuses. I must be cursed I  dont have a bankers  job!
